Version 1.3 of the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Technical Standard is now available!

Transport Canada will lead the implementation and coming into force of the revised standard, acknowledging that ELD providers and certification bodies will require a transitional period before full adoption.

Questions about the Federal Electronic Logging Device Mandate?

The amended Federal Hours of Service (HoS) regulations requiring carriers to install Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) in all Federally regulated commercial motor vehicles came into effect June 12, 2021. There is a regulatory requirement from Transport Canada that all ELD devices are certified by an accredited third-party in Canada.

Industry is advised to ensure any procured ELD is certified by a third-party certification body accredited by the Minister of Transport. Devices certified by accredited certifications bodies for use in Canada can be found on the Transport Canada link below: www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/road/electronic-logging-devices.html
