A declaration must be submitted to Technical Safety BC that the correction(s) have been completed within the timeframe specified on the certificate of inspection.

It is hereby directed that the process to declare a non-compliance, as corrected for all amusement device licensed contractors and/or licensed contractor’s representatives, shall be by:
