USA built pressure vessel to be installed in Canada, reqs?
(OP)
Our facility has built pressure vessels for use inside the USA and yes we hold a "U" stamp cert among others.
We are in the process of bidding a pressure vessel job to be installed in Canada.
Are there any additional requirements to be met other than it being built to ASME Section VIII div. 1 and registered with NBIC?
Thank you in advance,
Robert P.

Contact the province you are trying to go into, find out what you need to do. Start early.

We also have some tanks to build to API 650 standard and it is my understanding that no CRN is required for those tanks.

All of the previous comments are accurate, and yes, they do review the design package thoroughly.

If you get an approved CRN, and you or your customer decide to change even one nozzle by one nominal pipe size, it must be resubmitted. It usually means paying the Canadian engineer to look at it again, and paying the application fee to the local province again.
Some provinces (and employees thereof) are more difficult to work with than others. Finding a good Canadian engineer (or firm) that you can work with will make the process much smoother.

Saskatchewan give the mfr an "out", but that's another story...
