Compliance Process and Forms for Pleasure Craft Owners and Brokers of Second-hand Pleasure Craft

A2.1 Pleasure Craft Safety Label Compliance Process for Pleasure Craft Owners and Brokers of Second-Hand Vessels, Regardless of Length 

SINGLE VESSEL LABELS are issued to pleasure craft owners and brokers of second-hand pleasure crafts capable of being fitted with a propulsion engine. This applies to HOMEBUILT pleasure craft and pleasure craft where a manufacturer is unable to issue a compliance label.

The INFORMATION package includes:

  1. The Construction Standards for Small Vessels TP 1332;
  2. The Single Vessel Data Sheet (for all pleasure craft, regardless of length);
  3. Application forms [for vessels less than 6 m in length] for monohull vessels (short method), multihull (pontoon) vessels, and inflatable crafts.

The following items and information are to be returned to:

  2. Photographs of the actual vessel showing a stern view, side view, bow view, and the seating layout inside of the pleasure craft - REGARDLESS OF LENGTH.

    Brochure pictures and hand-drawings are NOT ACCEPTABLE.

  3. The cost of the label (CAN $5.00 per label/one label per vessel), prepaid and made payable to the Receiver General of Canada (personal cheque or money order only).

  4. The Application Form for pleasure craft not over 6 metres in length for one of either:
    1. monohull vessels (short method),
    2. multihull (pontoon vessels), or
    3. inflatable crafts.
The details from the appropriate form will be used in the calculations to determine the recommended safe maximum load, number of person allowed on board and only for outboard driven pleasure craft, the recommended maximum power. These safe limits will be printed on the label.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For monohull pleasure craft not exceeding 6 m (19 ft 8 in) in length, applicants have the option of using the Short Method as illustrated in this Appendix (2.0) or the “Long Method” as illustrated in Appendix 1.0 under the “Capacity Label for Manufacturers.” The difference between the two methods is that the Short Method in this Appendix will give slightly lower ratings than the “Long Method” in Appendix 1.0.

An exemption Letter valid for one year will be issued to applicants for all fully completed applications. Omission of any of the requested data will cause a delay in the issuance of the exemption letter and the processing of the application.
