Reliable Pressure Equipment Engineering & CRN Registration Solutions

If you are a manufacturer or engineer working with pressure equipment, understanding the importance of a Canadian Registration Number (CRN) is important. This certification is mandatory across Canada for all pressure equipment and systems operating above 1 bar (approximately 14.5 psi). It shows that your equipment meets the safety standards set by each province and territory.

Obtaining a CRN can be challenging as it involves thorough assessments by jurisdictional bodies, which can vary across regions. Maintaining compliance and adapting to changing regulations adds more complexity, making expert guidance essential.

At Titan Research Group, we have spent over two decades making this complex process easier for both local and international manufacturers. Our team actively participates in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code committees, staying up-to-date with the latest pressure laws and regulatory changes.

From managing jurisdiction-specific requirements to handling quality checks, design compliance, and more, we do everything involved in getting a CRN. Our clients consist of manufacturers specializing in process control and instrumentation equipment, serving industries such as oil and gas, metals, mining, minerals, drinking and wastewater, aggregates, cement, food, and pharmaceuticals.

Common CRN and Compliance Challenges Manufacturers Face

Handling Canadian pressure equipment regulations can be complex, even for experienced manufacturers. Many delays occur due to jurisdictional differences, documentation gaps, or late-stage design changes rather than technical deficiencies. Common challenges include:

Provincial regulatory differences: Pressure equipment regulations are enforced at the provincial level, and design acceptance in one jurisdiction does not automatically translate to approval in another.
Incomplete or unclear documentation: Missing calculations, inconsistent drawings, or unclear material specifications often lead to review comments, resubmissions, and extended approval timelines.
Late design modifications: Changes to materials, pressure ratings, or configurations after submission can trigger additional analysis or re-registration requirements.
Testing requirements identified too late: Proof or burst testing may be required to support compliance, and late planning can disrupt production schedules and delivery commitments.
Unclear CRN scope: Assemblies, modified equipment, or sub-components may require CRN registration even when individual parts appear non-pressure rated.
Limited familiarity with Canadian expectations: Compliance with ASME alone may not be sufficient; Canadian authorities review how codes are applied and documented.

Addressing these issues early in the project lifecycle helps reduce rework, avoid approval delays, and support timely market entry.

FAQs About CRN, Pressure Testing & Engineering Services

What types of equipment require a Canadian Registration Number (CRN)?

A CRN is required for pressure vessels, boilers, piping systems, and fittings that operate above 1 bar (14.5-15 psi). Requirements vary by province, but most pressure-rated equipment must be registered before installation or use.

Can CRN registration be handled for multiple provinces at once?

Yes. Designs can often be registered across several provinces through coordinated submissions, reducing duplication and avoiding unnecessary delays when equipment is used nationwide.

What documentation is needed for CRN registration?

Typical submissions include engineering drawings, design calculations, material specifications, applicable code references, and test results. Additional information may be required depending on the equipment type and jurisdiction.

What is pressure testing?

Pressure testing verifies that equipment can safely withstand its intended operating pressure. It is commonly required for regulatory approval, quality assurance, and risk reduction before commissioning.

What is the difference between proof testing and burst testing?

Proof testing confirms that equipment performs safely at a specified pressure, while burst testing determines the maximum pressure a component can withstand before failure. Both are used for validation and compliance.

Do pressure piping systems require testing before being put into service?

Yes. New, modified, or repaired pressure piping systems typically require testing and inspection to confirm code compliance and safe operation before commissioning.

How does code engineering support compliance?

Code engineering involves applying standards such as ASME, CSA, and ASME BPE to equipment design. This helps confirm that materials, dimensions, welds, and calculations align with regulatory expectations.

What industries commonly need CRN and pressure testing services?

Industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water treatment, manufacturing, and energy frequently require CRN registration and pressure testing for compliance.

Are testing services available for both standard and custom equipment?

Yes. Both routine production testing and highly customised testing programs can be performed based on equipment design, operating conditions, and regulatory requirements.

What role does quality assurance play in pressure equipment projects?

Quality assurance helps identify potential issues early in the design and manufacturing process, reducing rework, improving consistency, and supporting regulatory approval.

Is inspection required for imported pressure equipment?

Imported pressure equipment often requires inspection to confirm it meets Canadian codes, material standards, and documentation requirements before being placed into service.

When should manufacturers apply for CRN or testing support?

Support is recommended early in the design phase to avoid redesigns, approval delays, or compliance gaps later in the project lifecycle.
