All equipment must meet Transport Canada and Canada Safety Act standards. When it does, it then meets BC standards as BC uses them as the required standard. These standards go on for many pages and are very specific in their standards. In addition, you have to meet the MV act, Regs and the Provincial Inspection manual requirements. Want specifics, do an on line serach for TS and Canada Safety Act and take a look at the manual.

In short,...in very simplified terms.. the Federal standards kind of set up the level of quality and design required...the Provincial stuff assumes these quality and design requirements and then says how they must work on your vehicle.
