Reduce Your Insurance Rates!!
THE MASTERGARD M6000 AND THE MASTERGARD TK IMMOBILIZERS HAVE BEEN TESTED TO THE CANADIAN STANDARD BY THE UNDERWRITERS’ LABORITORIES 
OF CANADA AND APPROVED BY THE INSURANCE BUREAU OF CANADA.
In an effort to reduce the $2.3 billion lost annually and to better protect Canadian consumers, the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) and the Underwriter’s Laboratories of Canada (ULC) developed the Canadian Standard for Automobile Theft Deterrent Equipment and Systems: Electronic Immobilization; (Can/ULC-S.338), the first of its kind in North America, recognized as one of the best standards worldwide. This Canadian standard forms an integral part of the Transport Canada Standard CMVSS114 which became law on September 1, 2007.
The Mastergard M6000 was the first fully automatic Immobilizer to be tested and approved to the standard. Mastergard continues to work with the Canadian Insurance industry and Governments to participate in programs that educate consumers about the benefits of installing compliant electronic Immobilizers.
DID YOU KNOW? Most insurance companies will offer reduced insurance rates when a compliant Canadian Standard (S.338) Immobilizer is installed. See Insurance Companies who support THE NEW CANADIAN AUTO THEFT DETERRENT STANDARD?

About the New Canadian Standard
In an effort to reduce the billions of dollars lost annually from vehicle theft, and to better protect Canadian consumers, the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) and the Underwriter's Laboratories of Canada (ULC) developed the Canadian Standard for Automobile Theft Deterrent Equipment and Systems: Electronic Immobilization; (Can/ULC-S.338), the first of its kind in North America, recognized worldwide. This Canadian standard forms an integral part of the Transport Canada Standard CMVSS114 which became law on September 1, 2007.
The new Canadian Auto Theft Deterrent Standard was developed after extensive research around the world. This research found that the most successful vehicle anti-theft systems were electronic immobilizers that met or surpassed rigorous testing procedures and attack tests. The Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada, with the assistance of the Insurance Bureau of Canada, developed a new Canadian Auto Theft Deterrent Standard that is considered one of the best in the world.
The Mastergard M6000 is the first fully automatic Immobilizer to be tested and approved to the Canadian Auto-Theft Deterrent Standard (S.338). Mastergard is proud to have two immobilizer products now that have met the high standards and rigorous testing that this standard demands (see our products). Studies by the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) have demonstrated a dramatic reduction in automobile theft when a tested and approved IBC vehicle immobilizer is installed. Mastergard has taken this a step further with a shutout record of 500,000+ installations and 0 reported successful thefts.
Once IBC approved aftermarket systems, such as the Mastergard Immobilizers, have been installed by trained and certified installation facilities, the policyholder may be eligible for a discount on their auto insurance. All installations completed by VSIB certified installation facilities are registered with the Bureau and the policyholder's vehicle is issued with designated numbered window decals. Just inform a participating insurance company or a participating insurance agent of your Mastergard Immobilizer installation and they will confirm the installation of your anti-theft device with the VSIB. Your insurer may offer you a discount, at their discretion.
