Other provinces
The registrations above are Ontario registrations. Canada does not operate a single national register, each province and territory maintains its own, and a CRN registered in one province is commonly accepted or extended into others through a recognized process rather than automatically. If you are installing outside Ontario, contact us with your province before you order and we will tell you exactly where the paperwork stands for your jurisdiction.
WHAT A CRN IS, AND WHY IT STOPS PROJECTS
A Canadian Registration Number is a design registration. It says that the pressure-retaining design has been reviewed by a provincial authority and accepted for use in that jurisdiction. It is separate from, and in addition to, the ASME code stamp on the vessel itself.
The failure mode is predictable and expensive. A Canadian operator buys an American-built system with a perfectly valid ASME U stamp, installs it, calls for inspection, and is told the design is not registered in their province. At that point the equipment is in the room, the money is spent, and the registration process starts from zero with an engineering review that takes months.
Ask before you buy, not after
An ASME stamp is not a CRN. A supplier who cannot give you a CRN number is telling you something.
What to ask any supplier
- 01What is the CRN number for this design?
- 02Which province registered it, and when does it expire?
- 03Who is the submitting engineer of record?
- 04Is it registered as a fitting, a vessel, or both?
- 05Can I have a copy of the registration letter for my inspector?
We can answer all five in writing, on request, for any of the numbers above.
SHIPPING NORTH
- Systems ship from Bend, Oregon. Crated weight on a 20 LB system is about 1,500 lbs.
- Your Certificate of Conformance is serialized to your individual system and includes site-specific seismic calculations, which inspectors on both sides of the border ask for.
- The parent Engineering Certification Report is PE stamped and peer reviewed.
- Training certificates are issued per operator and are frequently requested by Canadian authorities.
- Site requirements, utilities and lead times are the same as a domestic install. See Site Requirements and Lead Times.
Registration letters, design numbers and expiry dates available on request. Call 541-330-6409, Monday to Thursday, 8 to 4 Pacific, or use the contact form and tell us your province and your AHJ.
