If a Safety Standards Certificate is issued for a vehicle, what does it mean?

  1. The vehicle has a valid insurance

  2. The vehicle has been registered with OMVIC

  3. The vehicle has passed emission tests

  4. The vehicle met certain basic standards of safety on the date of inspection

The correct answer is: The vehicle met certain basic standards of safety on the date of inspection

A safety standards certificate is issued after a vehicle has passed a thorough inspection and is found to meet certain basic safety standards. This certificate does not necessarily mean the vehicle has valid insurance, as that is a separate requirement. It also does not imply that the vehicle has been registered with OMVIC, which is the regulatory body for vehicle sales in Ontario. While the vehicle may have also had to undergo emission tests in order to pass inspection and receive the certificate, the issuance of this certificate is not dependent on just the emission test results. Overall, the best way to think of a safety standards certificate is as proof that the vehicle is in good working condition and meets the necessary safety requirements.
