A steam boiler must conform to the requirements of which agency?

  1. Canadian Standards Association

  2. Technical Standards and Safety Authority

  3. Ontario Building Code

  4. Transport Canada

The correct answer is: Technical Standards and Safety Authority

The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is the correct agency because it is responsible for the oversight of safety standards for various types of equipment, including steam boilers, within certain jurisdictions. The TSSA ensures compliance with safety regulations, conducts inspections, and enforces legislation that governs the installation, operation, and maintenance of steam boilers in Ontario. While the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) sets standards that may apply to boiler design and construction, it does not enforce compliance in the same way as the TSSA does. The Ontario Building Code provides general guidelines for building safety and construction but is not specifically focused on steam boiler safety regulations. Transport Canada primarily deals with transportation-related safety regulations and does not cover boiler safety issues. Thus, the TSSA is the specific agency that oversees the regulations applicable to steam boilers in this context.
