Canada - Various Changes to the Regulations under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (2026)
Business description
Following the public consultation on Various changes to the regulations under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act held January 30 to March 31, 2026, updates are being made to four (4) English Technical Standards Documents (TSD) and five (5) French "Document de normes techniques” (DNT).
Changes include the full required bilingual label text in both versions of the TSD/DNT.
This would make the documents clearer and easier to use.
We are also removing the passenger car requirements from TSD 105 as CMVSS/TSD 105 do not apply to passenger cars.
We are removing the old transitional provision date in S4.1 of TSD 110 as the date has passed and is no longer relevant.
In the French version of the DNT 222 document only, there is a typo, using “425 W joules” while the English and US text correctly use “452 W joules”.
