Pressure Vessel CRN Registration for Indian Manufacturers
If your buyer in Canada has asked for a CRN before your vessel can be installed, you are in the right place. A Canadian Registration Number certifies that your vessel's design has been reviewed and accepted by the provincial safety authority where it will operate. We take your ASME VIII drawings and calculations, normalize them to Canadian expectations, have a Canadian P.Eng. review and authenticate the package, and manage the regulator's review from start to CRN.
Codes: ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1 · ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.2 · CSA B51 · ASME Section II (materials)
Who this is for
- ›Indian pressure-vessel fabricators shipping to a Canadian site
- ›OEMs whose Canadian PO or tender specifies 'CRN required'
- ›EPCs packaging vessels into a larger Canadian project
What is included
- ✓Jurisdiction & pathway map (which province(s) you actually need)
- ✓Drawing & calculation review and normalization to Canadian expectations
- ✓Design calculations to the governing ASME / CSA code
- ✓Canadian-licensed P.Eng. review and authentication of the registration package
- ✓Statutory Declaration of compliance preparation (where required)
- ✓QC / quality program certificate review and acceptance pathway
- ✓Submission to the safety authority and correspondence on review comments
- ✓CRN number delivery, plus renewal / revalidation reminders
Pressure Vessels-specific considerations
- •Div.1 vs Div.2 routing: we confirm the right code path before you over-engineer the design.
- •Material substitution checks against ASME Section II for India-sourced plate and forgings.
- •MDMT / impact-test exemption review (Canadian sites can be cold, so UCS-66 matters).
- •Multiple identical units can often be registered from one design (lower cost per unit).
Our process
- 1
Scope & quote
Send equipment type, target province(s), code and drawings. We return a fixed-fee INR quote within one business day (IST).
- 2
Document review
We map the jurisdiction, review your drawings, calculations and QC certificate, and flag any gaps before they cost review cycles.
- 3
Engineering & authentication
We complete or normalize calculations to the governing code and a Canadian P.Eng. reviews and authenticates the package.
- 4
Submission
We file with the safety authority, pay regulator fees at cost, and manage all review comments.
- 5
CRN issued
You receive the CRN. We log renewal/revalidation dates and keep your registration valid.
Pressure Vessels CRN questions
Do you need a separate CRN for each Canadian province? +
CRNs are issued province-by-province. If your vessel will be used in only one province, you register there. If it ships to several, you can register through a national pathway (e.g. TSSA National) so the first province's review is recognized by others under the CRN reconciliation agreement. We map this for you before quoting.
Your vessel already has an ASME U-Stamp. Is that not enough for Canada? +
No. The ASME U-Stamp certifies fabrication; the CRN is a separate design registration that the provincial authority requires before the vessel can be legally operated in Canada. A U-Stamp helps but does not replace the CRN.
Can you work from our existing drawings and calculations? +
Yes, that is the fastest path. We review what you have, complete any missing calculations to the governing ASME code, and a Canadian P.Eng. reviews and authenticates the package. We tell you up front exactly which documents are missing.
