CRN Registration for Valve Assemblies and Fitting Packages

Valves, check valves, ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, control valves, and pressure relief valves all require CRN registration when above pressure thresholds in Canada. Kopfkino manages valve and fitting package CRN registration for OEMs and distributors.

Valve CRN Categories Under CSA B51

• Category A: safety relief valves, pressure safety valves — require capacity certification
• Category B: isolation valves, check valves, control valves, ball valves, gate valves
• Category D: flexible connections and hose assemblies with valves

Valve Family Registration for OEMs

Valve OEMs with broad product lines benefit enormously from family registration strategies. A single family CRN can cover dozens of valve models within defined bore, pressure class, and material combinations. Kopfkino structures valve family registrations that minimize total CRN count while maximizing product coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

I import valves from a US manufacturer. Who gets the CRN?

The CRN is issued in the manufacturer's name based on their design. Kopfkino can represent a US manufacturer to obtain Canadian CRNs for their valve product line.
