At a Glance

TSSA’s Boilers and Pressure Vessels Safety Program regulates the design, construction, maintenance, use, operation, repair and service of all pressure retaining components manufactured or used in Ontario. This includes equipment that produces and distributes hot water, steam, compressed air, and other compressed liquids and gases used in commerce and industry.

TSSA is involved in all aspects of the lifecycle of pressure vessels: from design, manufacture and installation to operation, maintenance and decommissioning.

TSSA conducts engineering reviews, examines pressurized equipment and facilities prior to start-up, conducts periodic inspections on uninsured boilers and pressure vessels, surveys quality programs for equipment manufacturers, and certifies inspectors employed by insurers licensed to conduct periodic inspections of insured equipment.
