Report Pressure Equipment Used for Agricultural Purposes

As of July 1, 2021, all boilers, pressure vessels, fittings and piping used exclusively for agricultural purposes must comply with:

Ontario Regulation 220/01: Boilers and Pressure Vessels, under the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000. This regulation applies to the design, construction, maintenance, use, operation, repair and service of boilers, pressure vessels and piping in Ontario.
