Question

Is displaying the words « non-odorized » or « not odorized » on a rail tank car of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that contains an odorant considered an infraction to the TDG Regulations?

Answer

Displaying « non-odorized » or « not odorized » on rail tank cars is not misleading under the current TDG Act and Regulations as these words are not considered prescribed safety marks. Therefore, this would not be an offence, even if the rail tank car does contain odorized product.
