CRN Registration for Fire Protection and Sprinkler System Components

Fire protection systems — wet-pipe sprinkler systems, dry-pipe systems, pre-action systems, and gaseous suppression systems — contain pressure-containing components that may require CRN registration in Canada. Kopfkino assists fire protection equipment manufacturers and contractors with Canadian CRN registration.

Fire System Components That May Require CRN

• Nitrogen charging vessels and pressure tanks for dry-pipe systems
• CO2 suppression system cylinders and manifolds (above CRN threshold)
• Foam concentrate storage vessels under pressure
• Water storage pressure tanks for fire pump systems
• Dry-pipe valve bodies (fitting CRN may be required)

Coordination with FM and UL Listings

Fire protection equipment is often listed by FM Global or UL. Kopfkino helps manufacturers obtain Canadian CRNs that complement existing FM and UL listings without disrupting those certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do sprinkler heads need CRN in Canada?

Standard sprinkler heads listed under ULC are typically not subject to CRN as pressure fittings. Consult Kopfkino to confirm for specific product types.
