Which organization is responsible for administering fuel regulations for gas and oil appliances?

  1. Health Canada

  2. Technical Standards and Safety Authority

  3. Canadian Standards Association

  4. Ontario Energy Board

The correct answer is: Technical Standards and Safety Authority

The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is the organization that administers fuel regulations specifically for gas and oil appliances in Ontario. This regulatory body is tasked with ensuring the safety of various technical standards, including those related to fuel-burning appliances. The TSSA oversees compliance with the regulations set forth under the Technical Standards and Safety Act, which includes conducting inspections and ensuring that installations are done according to safety standards. Health Canada primarily focuses on public health and safety regulations at a national level, rather than on the specific regulatory framework surrounding gas and oil appliances. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) develops standards and codes for various products, including gas appliances, but does not administer regulations. The Ontario Energy Board regulates the province's energy sector but does not directly deal with safety regulations concerning gas and oil appliances. Thus, the TSSA is the appropriate authority for administering and enforcing the regulations governing this area.
