The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) has been working on the next revision of the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Technical Standard. Industry consultation on the draft ELD Technical Standard is an important part of the process. We thank all our stakeholders for your feedback and comments during the just concluded 60-day formal consultation period on the Technical Standard for Electronic Logging Devices - Draft version 1.3.
CCMTA is currently reviewing all comments received during the consultation period. We may contact stakeholders directly for clarification on specific points or comments.
The first version of the ELD Technical Standard was published in November 2019 and version 1.2 in October 2020. CCMTA has been receiving feedback from industry, jurisdictions, and certification bodies on version 1.2 on areas that require revision to better support the Federal ELD certification process.
Update process for the Technical Standard for Electronic Logging Devices – Draft version 1.3:
- There was a 60-day consultation period, from September 12, 2024 to November 12th, 2024, for organizations to submit comments on the ELD Technical Standard.
- CCMTA reviews all comments submitted during the consultation period. Additional clarification on comments may be required.
- The revised Technical Standard for Electronic Logging Devices version 1.3 will then be approved by the CCMTA Board of Directors.
- The approved ELD Technical Standard will be published in both official languages in 2025.
- Revised Frequently Asked Questions on the ELD Technical Standard will be available in both official languages on the CCMTA website when the ELD Technical Standard 1.3 is published.
Note about Transport Canada process for implementation and coming into force of the new CCMTA ELD Technical Standard version 1.3
Following CCMTA approval of the ELD Technical Standard version 1.3, Transport Canada will lead the process for the implementation and coming into force of the Technical Standard version 1.3, recognizing that Electronic Logging Devices Providers and Certification Bodies will need a period of transition before the full implementation of Technical Standard version 1.3. Further information will be communicated by Transport Canada in 2025, ahead of the approval of the new CCMTA Technical Standard version 1.3.
