CRN Registration
The primary objective of Design Registration is to ascertain, within reasonable bounds, that designs submitted for registration under The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act are in compliance with the Act, Regulations, and relevant codes and standards. One must keep in mind that the owner of the design has ultimate responsibility for its correctness. Registration of a design does not relieve any person who constructs, installs, alters, or repairs a boiler or pressure vessel of liability with respect to that design.
Owners, users, agents, manufacturers and contractors of boilers or pressurized equipment are responsible for registering equipment designs with TSASK. Before pressurized equipment is registered, its design is subject to an engineering review to ensure compliance with the The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act, Regulations and adopted safety codes and standards. To register a design, please refer to the appropriate guideline.
