First-Time TSBC Licence Applicant: Your Full QCP Roadmap
If you're applying for your first Technical Safety BC (TSBC) licence and need to submit a Quality Control Program (QCP) manual, this guide will walk you through the entire process. We'll cover what you need to know about the QCP manual requirement, how to get started with Navdex Solutions Inc., and what to expect throughout the application process.
Understanding the QCP Requirement
As of January 1, 2026, TSBC requires all Class REF (refrigeration) and Class B (boiler) contractors to submit a QCP manual as part of their licence application. This requirement ensures that your business has robust quality control measures in place to maintain safety standards.
What is a QCP Manual?
A Quality Control Program (QCP) manual outlines the procedures, policies, and documentation required to ensure compliance with TSBC regulations. It includes 17 sections covering everything from company information to specific operational procedures.
Getting Started
To get your first TSBC licence, you'll need to submit a QCP manual that meets TSBC's guidelines (BRC-7031-03). Here’s how Navdex Solutions Inc., operating as GetQCPManual.ca, can help:
Step 1: Complete the Intake Form
The process begins with our 20-minute online intake form. This form collects essential information about your business and operations to tailor the QCP manual specifically for you.
- Time Commitment: Approximately 20 minutes
- What You Need: Basic company details, operational procedures, and any existing documentation
Step 2: Drafting Your Manual
Once we receive your intake form, our team will draft a custom QCP manual based on the TSBC guidelines. This process typically takes 72 hours.
- Turnaround Time: 72-hour draft
- Deliverable: A 17-section manual built to BRC-7031-03 guideline
Step 3: Review and Sign Off
After drafting, you will receive a digital copy of your QCP manual for review. This is your opportunity to ensure all information is accurate and complete.
- Review Time: Typically 24 hours
- What You Need to Do: Carefully review each section and make any necessary changes or additions
Step 4: Operations Accuracy Attestation
Once you are satisfied with the manual, you will need to sign an Operations Accuracy Attestation. This document confirms that the information in your QCP manual is accurate and truthful.
- What You Need: A digital signature
- Responsibility: The contractor is responsible for the truth of their operations (the attestation covers this)
Step 5: Submitting Your Manual to TSBC
With the signed attestation, you can now submit your QCP manual as part of your TSBC licence application.
Pricing and Payment
The cost for a Class REF QCP manual is $4,500 + GST. For a Class B manual, it’s $3,850 + GST. A 50% deposit is required to start the process, with the balance due upon delivery of your draft.
