In accordance with the Technical Standards and Safety Act and other applicable regulations, codes and standards, the Technical Standards and Safety Authority's (TSSA) Fuels Safety Program regulates the transportation, storage, handling and use of fuels in Ontario.
Fuels under this program include:
- Natural gas
- Propane
- Butane
- Hydrogen
- Digester gas
- Landfill gas
- Fuel oil
- Gasoline
- Diesel
The TSSA licenses fuel facilities, registers contractors and certifies tradespeople who install and service equipment. We also review and approve facility plans for sites licensed by the TSSA, and perform custom equipment approvals and inspection services to ensure safe handling and usage of fuel.
The three stages of the fuels life cycle that fall under TSSA's jurisdiction are:
- Transmission, distribution, and transportation
- Storage and dispensing
- Utilization (burning)
