New Launch Date for TSSA’s Elevating Devices Safety Program Compliance Standards

The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) will not be launching elevator, escalator and ski lift compliance standards that were previously scheduled to go live in November 2022. The change in timeline will allow for necessary workforce training, industry education, and systems preparation, following the recent inspector strike.

The following compliance standards are affected by the launch postponement:

• Electric / Traction Elevators
• Hydraulic Elevators
• Escalator Contractors
• Escalator Owners and Operators
• Above-Surface Passenger Ropeways
• Conveyors
• Fibre or Rope Tows
• Surface Passenger Ropeways

TSSA will share more details in early 2023.
