Exemptions
Refer to Section 2(2) of the Boilers and Pressure Vessel Regulation for a list of exemptions. Safety Bulletin SB00-7 on this site gives guidance on systems that are exempt from the Regulation.
General
From time to time repairs to boilers, pressure vessels, piping and fittings may be required. The Technical Standards and Safety Act, Boilers and Pressure Vessels Regulation and CSA-B51, The Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Pressure Piping Code, provide the requirements for repairs.
Contact your local TSSA Inspector before starting any repair of a boiler, pressure vessel, piping or fitting.
Repairs are defined as follows:
Repair, means any work necessary to restore a boiler or pressure vessel to a safe and satisfactory operating condition that does not result in a deviation from the original design.
Design Registration
Design registration is not usually required for repairs to boilers, pressure vessels, fitting or piping. Consult the local TSSA inspector if further information is required.
Quality Program
A certificate of authorization from TSSA is required to perform repairs.
A National Board "R" stamp certificate of authorization is also acceptable (in lieu of a TSSA certificate of authorization) provided all of the requirements of the National Board program, including National Board data reports and application of the "R" stamp are included.
Refer to Quality Program Applicants for details of how to apply for a TSSA quality program certificate of authorization for repairs.
