Canadian Registration Numbers (CRN)
Classic Filters have been awarded with our first Canadian Registration Number (CRN) for the province of Alberta. The filter housing designs covered by this CRN are currently being reviewed by the remaining provinces to give us registered designs in all jurisdictions.
We are working towards CRN for all our filter housings. Click here to download a copy of the first certificate.
What is a Canadian Registration Number?
In Canada pressure vessels (such as filter housings), pressure piping and fittings have to designed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of CSA B51, otherwise they could pose potential health and safety risks
There are three parts to the CSA B51 standard –
- Requirements for boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping and fittings. Promotes safe design, construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing and repair practices
- Requirements for high-pressure cylinders for on-board storage of fuels for automotive vehicles. Specifies minimum requirements for serially-produced lightweight refillable gas cylinders
- Requirements for compressed natural gas & hydrogen refuelling station pressure piping systems and ground storage vessel
A Canadian Registration Number is issued if the design is satisfactory.
