- An Ontario Safety Standards Certificate is valid for 36 days from the inspection date, so book the inspection close to the sale or registration.
- Only a Motor Vehicle Inspection Station licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation can issue a Safety Standards Certificate, and the inspection must be done by a licensed technician.
- The inspection follows Ontario's Passenger/Light-Duty Vehicle Inspection Standard and covers brakes, steering, suspension, tires and wheels, lights, glass and mirrors, exhaust, fuel system, body and frame.
- A certificate confirms the vehicle met the minimum standard on the day it was inspected. It is not a warranty and does not guarantee the vehicle's condition afterwards.
- Ontario ended Drive Clean emissions testing for passenger vehicles on April 1, 2019, so the safety inspection is the only inspection needed for a private sale or transfer.
