TSSA Sign-Off on ABSA AB-83F Form
TSSA Sign-Off on ABSA AB-83F Form
(OP)
Hello,
I have a project where we have built a pressure piping system where have supplied in preparation for ABSA registration by others. We have met all requirements, we just haven't applied for registration. There is no PP number for that packages and no open file with ABSA.
The client has asked that we have TSSA (we are in Ontario) witness the hydro test of the system and sign off on the AB-83F form. However, I've been told that TSSA won't sign off on the form if there is no PP number.
Can anybody confirm this as I can't get hold of anybody at TSSA and I need to respond to the client.
Thanks in advance.

From my understanding of the process, I believe you just need to "reconcile" the design with the TSSA at this point. Reconciliation is essentially an assurance to the TSSA that the final design will be registered. This reconciliation is typically accepted by the TSSA prior to construction in my experience.
I am not familiar with the relationship between the ABSA and TSSA. My recommendation is for you to talk to the TSSA office in Toronto (they have always been extremely helpful to me).

A TSSA inspector should be able to witness the hydro and verify wps etc, etc, without the PP number but they cannot complete the form.

Playing catch-up is never a good way of doing things. Once you have your PP the ON rep can witness on behalf of Alta. and it will be accepted.
