Any company manufacturing vehicles in Canada, or that vehicle ships from one province to another, must affix their National Safety Mark (NSM) number to those vehicles. As well, most provincial Highway Traffic Acts require companies affix an NSM to all vehicles they manufacture. The purpose of the NSM is to certify their vehicle production complies with the regulations under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
CTEA can help manufacturers prepare their application for an NSM, and also offers guidance in the administrative and technical requirements associated with the process.
