Terms and Conditions - Introduction [revised 2005-04-01]

Table of Contents

April 1^st, 2005

In April 2002, Measurement Canada completed its consultations with stakeholders in the Downstream Petroleum Sector. One of the key recommendations from Downstream Petroleum Sector stakeholders called for the creation and implementation of a service provider registration program that would enable qualified organizations to conduct inspections, on behalf of Measurement Canada, of devices used in trade in the sector. Measurement Canada approved the creation of a voluntary registration program.

The primary objective of implementing a voluntary program is to authorize registered organizations to conduct device inspections regulated under the Weights and Measures Act on behalf of Measurement Canada. Measurement Canada is expecting the registration program to enable it to work closely with all service providers in the downstream petroleum sector and to maintain a fair and competitive marketplace for all commercial partners in this sector.

The terms and conditions of the program are written in a manner that allows the program to be expanded to other trade sectors should stakeholders from other sectors recommend a similar program during the trade sector review process.
