Reference: CCMTA Frequently Asked Questions
- As a motor carrier, how can I be sure an electronic logging device (ELD) is compliant?
Transport Canada requires third-party certification of ELDs and will be engaging a suitable entity to manage this role. The motor carrier is responsible to utilize only third-party certified devices in Canada. - My electronic logging device (ELD) is already compliant with the U.S. Rule. Is it also compliant with the Canadian ELD Standard?
No. Requirements specified in the Canadian ELD Standard are aligned with those in the U.S. Rule for interoperability on both sides of the border. However, the Canadian ELD Standard includes additional requirements to comply with current HOS Regulations in Canada. Current ELDs will require a software update and certification by a third-party entity. - Where can I find the list of certified suppliers for the ELD mandate? The list of all suppliers can be found on the Transport Canada website.
