The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) offers a national registration service to assist with the administration of design registration across Canada or in selected provinces outside of Ontario. There is a nominal administration fee for each Canadian Registration Number (CRN).
Pressure equipment must be registered in each province or territory where it will be used.
Beginning January 1, 2020 design reviews conducted by provinces and territories in Canada will be mutually recognized by those jurisdictions participating in the Reconciliation Agreement for the Canadian Registration Number (CRN) for Pressure Equipment. With a single design review being conducted, the system is becoming more streamlined and efficient.
