A new search tool, launching in early September on TSSA’s Client Portal, will make it easier for consultants and engineering firms to find their clients’ account numbers when submitting boiler and pressure vessel (BPV) design registrations.
To obtain a Canadian Registration Number for boilers, pressure vessels or piping, third-party submitters (such as consultants or engineering firms) must correctly link each design registration to the appropriate client or owner. This requires knowing the client’s account number ─ a detail that has sometimes been difficult to locate, leading to mis-linked applications, processing delays and extra administrative work.
To avoid linking design registrations to the incorrect client, the new search tool is designed to facilitate third-party submitters to look up a client’s account number using:
- The client’s name
- The client’s address, or
- The client’s previous Canadian Registration Number (or Piping Registration number, if applicable)
By making it easier to find the correct account number, this tool helps ensure that design registrations and engineering applications are properly linked to the right client from the start, reducing errors and avoiding unnecessary delays.
