The Canadian Registration Number (CRN) represents the design registration for pressure equipment. It is essential to align the reference with the scope of the filing, including the manufacturer, configuration, and applicable jurisdictions.
EXPERT SERVICE · COMPLIANCE
Selection, Documentation, and Technical Support
VAMECA helps you select the right valve for your project, verify CRN and CSA B51 requirements along with all supporting documentation, and coordinate technical specifications directly with the manufacturer.

YOUR REQUIREMENTS
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.
INSPECT SEATING SURFACE
One part number, one configuration, one installation site. We cross-reference these details against original manufacturer documentation.
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.

MANUFACTURER DOCUMENTATION
The required documentation is defined based on the specific project, product, and client specifications. Not all listed documents are systematically required or available.
CRN
Registration, scope, and applicable jurisdictions.
Material Test Reports (MTRs)
Supporting documentation required for supply.
Test Reports
Testing and agreed-upon criteria for the reference standard.
Technical Data Sheet
Materials, End Connections, and Operating Limits.
Drawing or Bill of Materials
Dimensions, interfaces, and selected configuration.
Manufacturer's Declaration
Declaration applicable to supply.
Material Traceability
Documentation traceably matched to product and heat or batch number.
IMAGE TO BE ADDED
Submittals, drawings, and technical documentation
The CRN is verified against the part number, configuration, and documentation scope.
The proposal must clearly specify the part number, configuration, and required documentation. Any missing components and terms pending confirmation must remain clearly identified prior to placing the purchase order.
Identify the part number and revision.
Link certificates to the product or batch.
Confirm deliverables and product availability.
THE RIGHT BENCHMARKS
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.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY PARTNER
A dedicated technical point of contact to align your requirements, valve specifications, and manufacturer documentation.
Find the right part number
Aligning the required valve performance with your process conditions.
Aligning your operational requirements with technical specifications
Verify configuration and documentation consistency.
Confirm Available Documentation
Identify specified components and items requiring completion.
Coordinate directly with the manufacturer
Clarify technical specifications prior to ordering.
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.
