How CRN Registration Works

Every registration we manage follows the same six-phase sequence, from the first feasibility review to the issued CRN.

1. 01 · EQUIPMENT

   Intake & Feasibility Review

   We assess your equipment type, applicable codes (CSA B51, ASME VIII, B31.3, B31.5), provincial requirements, and the optimal registration pathway. You receive a clear roadmap and list of required documents.

2. 02 · ENGINEERING REVIEW

   Document & Data Validation

   A professional engineer reviews your drawings, calculations, material certifications, QC program certificates, and test reports for code compliance. We identify and resolve gaps before submission, not after.

3. 03 · DRAWINGS + CALCULATIONS

   Submission Package Preparation

   We assemble the complete CRN application: P.Eng.-authenticated drawings, engineering calculations or proof-of-design documentation, cover letter, statutory declaration forms, and all authority-required paperwork.

4. 04 · FILING

   Filing & Authority Communications

   We file your application with the designated authority (TSSA, ABSA, TSBC, ACI Central, RBQ, or TSASK) and manage all routine correspondence during the review period.

5. 05 · AUTHORITY REVIEW

   Technical Comment Resolution

   If the authority raises technical queries or requests additional information, we prepare and submit the response on your behalf: included in our standard scope.

6. 06 · CRN ISSUED

   CRN Issuance & Closeout

   Once the CRN is issued, you receive a complete digital closeout package: CRN confirmation, final authenticated drawings, and a correspondence log for your records.

ACI Central Inc. processes design registrations for its member jurisdictions. Its Design Registration Application lets one application request registration in any combination of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut register designs through their own chief inspectors. Source: ACI Central Inc.

Each province and territory issues its own registration. The CRN Reconciliation Agreement, in force since January 1, 2020, lets participating authorities recognize each other's design reviews, but it does not create a single national registration.

Client Success Stories

"As a US-based OEM exporting to Canada, we needed CRNs for our fittings. The fixed-fee quote made budgeting simple and the turnaround let us hit our Canadian launch on schedule."

Operations Director, Industrial OEM (United States)

"Clear scoping on a skid package that triggered multiple CRNs saved us from costly rework. Communication was proactive and every drawing came back properly authenticated."
