(Ce document est aussi disponible en français.) 
Introduction 
As defined by section 12 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act , a Technical Standards Document 
(TSD) is a document that reproduces an enactment of a foreign government (e.g. a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard issued by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration).  According to the Act, the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations  may alter or 
override some provisions contained in a TSD or specify additional requirements; 
consequently, it is advisable to read a TSD in conjunction with the Act and its counterpart Regulation.  As a guide, where the corresponding Regulation contains additional requirements, footnotes indicate the amending subsection number.  TSDs are revised from time to time in order to incorporate amendments made to the reference document, at which time a Notice of Revision is published in the Canada Gazette , 
Part I.  All TSDs are assigned a revision number, with “Revision 0” designating the original version. 
 
Identification of Changes 
In order to facilitate the incorporation of a TSD, certain non-technical changes may be made 
to the foreign enactment.  These may include the deletion of words, phrases, figures, or sections that do not apply under the Act or Regulations, the conversion of imperial to metric units, the deletion of superseded dates, and minor changes of an editorial nature.  Additions are underlined
, and provisions that do not apply are stroked through .  Where an entire section 
has been deleted, it is replaced by: “[CONTENT DELETED]”.  Changes are also made where there is a reporting requirement or reference in the foreign enactment that does not apply in Canada.  For example, the name and address of the U.S. Department of Transportation are replaced by those of the Department of Transport.  
Effective Date and Mandatory Compliance Date 
The effective date of a TSD is the date of publi cation of its incorporating regulation or of the 
notice of revision in the Canada Gazette , and the date as of which voluntary compliance is 
permitted.  The mandatory compliance date is the date upon which compliance with the requirements of the TSD is obligatory.  If the effective date and mandatory compliance date are different, manufacturers may follow the requirements that were in force before the effective date, or those of this TSD, until the mandatory compliance date.     In the case of an initial TSD, or when a TSD is revised and incorporated by reference by an amendment to the Regulations, the mandatory compliance date is as specified in the Regulations, and it may be the same as the effective date.  When a TSD is revised with no Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles  
With a GVWR of 4,536 kg or Less  TSD No. 110, Revision 1  
Effective: November 20, 2013  ii corresponding changes to the incorporating Regulations, the mandatory compliance date is 
six months after the effective date.   
Official Version of Technical Standards Documents 
The PDF version is a replica of the TSD as published by the Department and is to be used for 
the purposes of legal interpretation and application.
