How long is a Safety Standards Certificate (SSC) good for?

  1. 36 days

  2. 14 days

  3. 64 days

  4. 26 days

The correct answer is: 36 days

A Safety Standards Certificate (SSC) is a document that proves a vehicle has passed a safety inspection and meets certain safety standards. It is issued by the appropriate provincial or territorial government authority. Based on this information, the other options are incorrect because a vehicle is typically required to undergo a safety inspection and obtain an SSC at specific intervals based on the regulations of the province or territory in which it is registered. These intervals can vary, but it is typically either every 12 months or every 36 days, making option A the most accurate answer. Additionally, some provinces or territories may have specific requirements for how long an SSC is valid for, but it is typically valid for at least 36 days. This means that options B, C, and D, which have shorter durations, are not representative of the typical validity period for an SSC.
