Manufacturer's Identification Code
Construction Standards (TP 1332)
Every pleasure craft that is propelled (or designed to be propelled) by a motor and that is built in or imported into Canada in order to be sold or operated here must comply with the Construction Standards for Small Vessels. In addition to stipulating construction requirements, these standards also require that pleasure craft be marked with a Hull Serial Number (HIN) and fitted with a Safety Compliance Notice.
Manufacturers and importers will find valuable information here including how to apply for a Manufacturer's Identification Code (MIC) and the forms required to obtain Safety Compliance Notices for pleasure craft to be sold for use in Canada.
If you are a pleasure craft owner, please see Paperwork to ensure that your boat is in compliance.
