New Brunswick CRN Requirements: ACI Central Registration

Reviewed by CRN expert team · Last updated: October 23, 2026

New Brunswick's pressure equipment design registration is administered through ACI Central Inc., a not-for-profit organization in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, which names the regulators of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as its participating authorities. New Brunswick's industrial base (the Irving refinery complex, forestry operations, and power generation) creates demand for both complex vessel CRNs and multi-jurisdiction registration strategies.
