Do You Need a P.Eng to Prepare a QCP Manual?

When it comes to preparing a Quality Control Program (QCP) manual for Technical Safety BC (TSBC), many contractors wonder if they need a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) involved. The short answer is no, but let's delve deeper into why and how you can ensure your QCP manual meets TSBC requirements.

Understanding the Requirements

The TSBC requires all Class REF (refrigeration) and Class B (boiler) contractors to submit a QCP manual as part of their licence renewal process. This requirement went into effect on January 1, 2026, making it crucial for contractors to have a compliant manual in place.

Who Can Prepare the Manual?

According to TSBC guidelines, there is no explicit requirement stating you need a P.Eng. to prepare your QCP manual. The key focus is ensuring that the content accurately reflects your company's operations and meets BRC-7031-03 standards.

What Does the Manual Need to Include?

A TSBC-compliant QCP manual must include 17 sections, covering:

• Company Information
• Quality Control Program Description
• Personnel Qualifications and Responsibilities
• Equipment Calibration and Maintenance
• Inspection and Testing Procedures
• Corrective Action Procedures

Each section needs to be tailored to your specific operations. The manual must also include branded forms, exhibits, and a revision control system.
