BC: New Directives Issued

On September 27, Technical Safety BC issued the following Directives:

• Gas Appliance Approvals
  Technical Safety BC’s (TSBC) Gas Technology Program provides a program for approval of regulated gas appliances as authorized by the Safety Standards Act and Gas Safety Regulation.

The approval is site specific, and is valid only in the province of British Columbia under jurisdictional areas of the Safety Standards Act.
