Equivalency Certificate SU 11248 Updated

Transport Canada has made administrative updates, with no changes to the clauses on Equivalency Certificate SU 11248 (Ren. 5). The previous Equivalency Certificate is hereby revoked and superseded by the new Equivalency Certificate, which is available on the CPA website.

NOTE: The conditions of each Equivalency Certificate must be complied with. Subsection 31(4) of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act, 1992 stipulates that non-compliance with any of the terms or conditions invalidates an Equivalency Certificate. If any of the conditions are not complied with, the TDG Act, 1992 and Regulations would apply as though the Equivalency Certificate did not exist.

Equivalency Certificate SU 11248 (Ren. 5) authorizes the members of the Canadian Propane Association to transport propane cylinders without having to display the dangerous goods safety marks required for small means of containment. The barbecue type cylinders or those used in recreational vehicle (for which the capacity in propane or liquefied petroleum gas is less than or equal to 30 liters) are collected at corner stores, service stations, grocery stores or hardware stores and are transported to the member of the Canadian Propane Association’s facility to be inspected, requalified, refilled, recycled, and/or disposed.
