This manual is intended for employees of authorized service providers (ASPs) and Measurement Canada (MC) who need to use the Online Reporting Application (ORA). It explains how to use the application, from navigating the pages to performing various actions, such as creating an account, running reports and submitting inspection results.
Within this document, the terms “inspection” and “examination” are used interchangeably. Definitions of commonly used terms and defined roles for inspections conducted under the authority of the Weights and Measures Act and the Weights and Measures Regulations are outlined in the Online Reporting Application Terms and Conditions of Use.
In addition, the names of ORA pages, tabs, menu options, columns, fields and buttons are highlighted in this document using bold text to make it easier to look for them within the instructions. References to related documentation are hyperlinked.
