Interview Highlights

• TSSA will issue a certificate of inspection (COI) to BPV owners after equipment passes a periodic inspection and gains the Record of Inspection (ROI) from insurers.

• TSSA will implement an audit and attestation program to provide oversight of periodic inspections from insurers.
• TSSA will maintain a database of device-specific periodic inspection information from both insurer and TSSA inspectors.
• TSSA is developing a ROI/COI Customer Portal where BPV insurers/owners will be able to: login to the portal, upload ROIs for respective devices, update information, and gain the necessary COI upon completion of a secure payment option.
