Ontario Pressure Piping Registration Guide

The document provides a flowchart guide for determining the scope of pressure piping systems in Ontario that require registration and inspection by the Boilers and Pressure Vessels Safety Division (BPVSD). The flowchart examines factors like design pressure and temperature, material type, size, and application to determine if a system is exempt or requires BPVSD registration and inspection according to CSA B51 standards. Exempt systems that do not require registration include those with low pressure or temperature such as buried water piping under 600 PSIG or hot water heating systems below 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
