Directive: Internal combustion engines, turbines, and other prime movers

Effective October 1, 2023 the amendments outlined in Appendix 2 of the Ministerial Order M191 came into effect. This change removed the exemption for stationary engines, turbines and prime movers unless it is approved under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

 All stationary engines, turbines and prime movers under the Safety Standards Act will be required to bear a certification or approval mark in accordance with the Certification and Approval Mark for Gas Appliances in BC Directive D-G5 051201 2.

Work performed under permits obtained prior to October 1, 2023 will not be affected. Permits taken out after October 1, 2023 will require the stationary engine, turbine or prime mover to be listed as an appliance.
