CSA B622-14 – Selection and use of highway tanks, TC portable tanks, and ton containers for the transportation of dangerous goods, Class 2 requires that diesel engines on highway tanks and portable tanks containing dangerous goods of Class 2.1 and being used during loading and off-loading shall be equipped with an automatic engine air intake shut-off device. 

The Government of Canada is consulting with Canadians to seek their views on how they can effectively update the federal policy on regulation.

Transport Canada informed the CPA about non-compliances with Equivalency Certificate SU 11248 (Ren. 3).

In accordance to Section 80 of the Fuel Safety Regulations, applicants for a Class C Gas Operator’s Licence (to transport propane in portable containers) will no longer be required to write the in-house Fuel Safety exam. The full Nova Scotia Fuel Safety Bulletin can be viewed here.

A recent amendment to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations introduced ambulatory references to allow stakeholders to use the most recent versions of certain international codes and safety standards for a means of containment. Whenever a new edition of dynamically-referenced standards is published, stakeholders will have six months from the day the revised standards are published to comply.
