Owners, users, agents, manufacturers and contractors of boilers or pressurized equipment are responsible for registering equipment designs with TSSA.

Before pressurized equipment is registered, its design is subject to an engineering review to ensure compliance with the Act, Regulations and adopted safety codes and standards.

To register a design, please refer to the appropriate guideline below:

Applications for Ontario Registration

You may be required to complete any of the following Ontario registration documents:
  • Application for CRN for BPV and Fittings 
  • Application for Piping, Brazing, Welding and Used/Altered Vessels
  • Application for Expedited Engineering Services 

Guidelines for Boilers &  Pressure Vessels 

View our guidelines for registration non-nuclear Boilers & Pressure Vessels:
  • Boilers & Pressure Vessels manufactured in Canada
  • Boilers & Pressure Vessels manufactured in the USA
  • Boilers & Pressure Vessels manufactured outside of Canada or the USA

Guidelines for Fittings

View our Fittings Guidelines to learn about registering non-nuclear fittings in Ontario.

Guidelines for Nuclear Systems

View our guidelines for registering Nuclear Pressure Retaining Systems. 

Guidelines for Piping Systems 

You may require the following documents to register piping systems:
  • Piping Guidelines
  • Medical Gas Piping  
  • Piping Data Report

You may also view the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) bulletins:

  • Safety Bulletin SB00-7 to help determine if the piping system requires registration.
  • Safety Bulletin SB00-2 Rev.1 for Modifications/Alterations to Registered Conventional Piping Systems

Welding and Brazing Procedures Registrations 

Welding and brazing procedures are reviewed and registered through Accredited Inspection Agencies according to applicable safety codes and standards. 

Variance Review 

Variances may be allowed for items that don't fully comply with Ontario Regulation 220/10: Boilers and Pressure Vessels, if the variance will not affect the safe use of the item or the health or safety of any person. Apply for a variance review by completing the Application for Variance form. 

Consultation Services 

Consulting services should be obtained from engineers with industry experience. Engineers can be obtained from your own search or through association websites, such as:

  • Association of Consulting Engineering Companies, Canada
  • Professional Engineers Ontario
  • Consulting Engineers of Ontario

The TSSA also conducts preliminary design reviews to determine adherence with safety standards. This service helps assure equipment will be acceptable before it's manufactured.
