WHAT IS A TIL?
A Technical Information Letter (TIL) is a requirement recognized by the Standards Council of Canada that is able to act in place of a full standard for certification purposes. As new and complex technologies emerge, it takes time to assess their impact and introduce them into existing standards or develop new standards. As a result, the standard development process may take several years to complete. In the short term a Technical Information Letter (TIL) may acts as a method of new technologies gaining market acceptance.
