YOUR REQUIREMENTS

When to consult this page

When to consult this page

When to consult this page

Whether you need to source a CRN-certified valve, specify a drop-in replacement, or prepare the required documentation, we start with your exact operational requirements.

Looking for a CRN-certified valve?

Specify a part number engineered for the media and operating conditions, complete with technical documentation to be validated for the installation site.

Replacing an existing valve?

Cross-reference the configuration, connection types, and documentation—relying on diameter alone is not enough.

Please complete the technical file

Specify the required parts and coordinate their availability directly with the manufacturer.

Please confirm the documentation prior to placing your order

Identify operating conditions, missing components, and key specifications requiring clarification prior to purchase.

Part number and configuration to be linked

01 / PART NUMBER AND CONFIGURATION

The product, engineered down to the finest detail.

Manufacturer, series, size, materials, end connections, and pressure class: we validate the proposed configuration against the OEM documentation and your specific operating conditions. Documentation from a similar product line simply isn't enough.

02 / PROVINCE OF INSTALLATION

The seating surface is verified for your project specifications.

The province or territory of installation is an essential requirement. We review the applicable jurisdictions and confirm all compliance criteria. In Quebec, an exemption from registration does not eliminate the need to verify other applicable regulatory requirements.

03 / DOCUMENTATION & DELIVERABLES

Parts engineered to match your equipment.

CRN and scope, data sheets, drawings, materials, and test reports: we verify all required documentation and ensure its availability. The proposal clearly identifies any missing documentation and items requiring clarification prior to order placement.

THE RIGHT BENCHMARKS

Understanding CRN, CSA B51, and 3.1 Inspection Certificates

Understanding CRN, CSA B51, and 3.1 Inspection Certificates

Understanding CRN, CSA B51, and 3.1 Inspection Certificates

Three complementary benchmarks that address distinct operational requirements.

CRN

Registered Design

Cross-reference the registered design number against its scope of registration and applicable jurisdictions. A CRN does not automatically cover a manufacturer's complete product catalogue.

CSA B51

Applicable Regulatory Framework

The code covers boilers, pressure vessels, piping, and pressure-retaining components. The specific edition and applicable requirements are determined by the regulatory framework of your project.

EN 10204 · 3.1

Inspection Certificate

It provides the specified test results and must be traceable to the specific product or heat lot. It does not replace the required CRN or the validation of your operating conditions.

CE marking under the PED does not supersede applicable Canadian requirements. Project-specific registration and supporting documentation remain subject to confirmation.

What this does not replace

VAMECA does not issue CRNs and does not replace the regulatory authority or the parties responsible for the project.

Final compliance depends on the selected product, its configuration, its intended service, and applicable installation requirements.
