CRN (Canadian Registration Number)

The Canadian Registration Number (CRN) is a number issued by each province or territory in Canada by an authorized safety authority for any boiler, pressure vessel or fitting that operates at a pressure greater than 15 psig (1 barg). If your pressure retaining product or system operates at a pressure greater than 15 psig you may require a Canadian Registration Number (CRN) to legally install and operate your product in Canada.

The CRN identifies that the design has been accepted and registered for use in that province or territory. P3 – CRN 0D20172.5 applies to P3 for use in Ontario.
