Since the launch of the Heating Contractor Audit Program in 2023, TSSA has received inquiries about the requirement for heating contractors with more than three technicians to perform Field Validation (QA) to ensure that their work on heating fuel installations complies with regulations.
To assist contractors in performing QAs for heating-fuel installation work, TSSA has developed a generic template that can be applied to most fuel types and appliances. This template represents the minimum standard for contractor field validations acceptable to TSSA Fuel Safety inspections. The template can be adapted to include more details or used in addition to a contractor’s own QA checklists.
The Field Validation (QA) template is not meant to replace any current documentation, such as appliance start-up or commissioning sheets.
