The Transition Pass: When Your QCP Manual Is Actually Due
Introduction
As of January 1, 2026, Technical Safety BC (TSBC) requires Quality Control Program (QCP) manuals for Class REF and Class B contractors to obtain or renew their licences. This transition period is critical to ensure your manual meets TSBC's guidelines and avoid delays in licence renewal.
Understanding the Transition Pass
The transition pass refers to the initial submission of your QCP manual when transitioning from an existing licence to one that requires a QCP manual. For many contractors, this means submitting a new QCP manual for the first time. Here’s what you need to know:
Why It Matters
- Licence Renewal: Without a TSBC-approved QCP manual, your licence renewal will be delayed.
- Revenue Impact: Delays in obtaining or renewing your licence can disrupt your operations and revenue.
Key Deadlines
For contractors who have not yet submitted their first QCP manual:
- Class REF Contractors: Submit by January 1, 2026, to avoid delays.
- Class B Contractors: The same deadline applies for the initial submission of a QCP manual.
Steps to Ensure Compliance
Step 1: Understand TSBC Requirements
TSBC's guidelines are detailed in document BRC-7031-03. This guideline outlines all necessary sections and requirements for your QCP manual.
Step 2: Complete the Intake Form
To get started, fill out our 20-minute online intake form. This form collects essential information about your operations to build a company-specific QCP manual.
Step 3: Review and Sign the Attestation
Once we draft your manual based on TSBC's guidelines, you will review it and sign an Operations Accuracy Attestation. This attestation confirms that the information in your manual is accurate and truthful.
Step 4: Submit to TSBC
After signing off on the final version of your QCP manual, submit it to TSBC for approval.
