The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) has posted a new advisory outlining new licensing regime requirements for the transportation of compressed gas.
As of February 3, 2025, TSSA has adopted a new licensing regime that will require a licence to be issued for each transport truck carrying a bulk container certified as meeting the requirements of Transport Canada or the U.S. Department of Transportation. A licence will be issued only if it has passed an inspection performed by a TSSA inspector.
Previously, TSSA permitted the transport of compressed hydrogen and compressed natural gas through a non-permanent variance application that expires every two years. Approved variances are tied to user location and may or may not include a pressure reduction system and more than one tube trailer under the same approval.
