Manufacturing a Canadian CSA B51 vessel outside of Canada. How does inspection work ?

Manufacturing a Canadian CSA B51 vessel outside of Canada. How does inspection work ?

Manufacturing a Canadian CSA B51 vessel outside of Canada. How does inspection work ?

(OP)
Hi, we are an ASME U stamped shop located in the UK and we have received an enquiry for a U stamped vessel which must also adhere to CSA B51.

Can anyone advise me on how the inspection would work.

Do we have the fabrication and welding inspected by our ASME AI and then have the designs sent to a Canadian P.E. or does the fabrication and welding also need to be witnessed by a Canadian P.E.?

Would the Canadians issue a CRN after the design stage (before manufacture) or would it be issued afer the manufacture is completed ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Lee

You will have to know in which Canadian province the vessel will be installed. You will have to submit the vessel design to the appropriate provincial regulatory body who will review the design and then issue a CRN number. If it is located in Ontario, then an Ontario P. Eng. stamp is required on the plans submitted for CRN. This should be done before you start manufacturing the vessel.

Once the CRN is issued, the CRN number goes on the nameplate and the data report. This is then signed off by your AI.
