Design Registration
Design Registration ensures that pressure equipment designs are in compliance with The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act, Regulations, and relevant codes and standards.
Owners, users, agents, manufacturers, and contractors of pressure equipment used in the province of Saskatchewan are responsible for registering their equipment designs with TSASK. Before any pressure equipment is registered, its design is subject to an engineering review.
The owner of the design has responsibility for its correctness, the registration of a design does not relieve any person who constructs, installs, alters, or repairs pressure equipment of liability with respect to that design. All design applications must be submitted through the Design Submission Portal.
Design Registration involves:
Assessment of new and revised designs of boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping, fittings and other pressure equipment for compliance with the Act and registration of those found acceptable
Assessment of alterations to boilers, pressure vessels and piping and registration of those found acceptable
Alternative to CRN (Data report) Registration option
Power Engineer Scope of Authority
The Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) is responsible for the examination, certification and licensing of all Power Engineers and Boiler Operators in the province of Saskatchewan.
In addition to offering SOPEEC exams, TSASK ensures that all requirements as per the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Regulations are met in order for an individual to obtain proper certification and licensing to safely operate as a Power Engineer or Boiler Operator.

Yes, design registration is required for rerates. The following must be submitted to the TSASK Design Portal:
Pressure vessels
- The Manufacturer’s Data Report (MDR (U-1A)
- TSK-1009 Repair/Alteration Report
- Non-destructive examination results (UT preferable) to establish the vessels condition
- ASME code calculations verifying that the vessel, in its present condition, is suitable for its intended service
Piping systems
- The original construction data report
- TSK-1003 General Engineering Requirements for the Design and Construction of Pressure Piping Systems
- A new line list and a thickness evaluation report, based on an ultrasonic examination, which provides the actual thicknesses
- If the original piping has not been registered, we require the P&ID.
If the original hydro test is not adequate for the new conditions, a pressure test will be required. The same applies to the derating of vessels and piping systems.
