Submission Requirements For Registration Of Fittings Designs In Other Provinces Through ABSA

The Alberta Boilers Safety Association (ABSA) offers a one-window service to fitting manufacturers wishing to register their designs in multiple Canadian provinces. The manufacturer makes one submission, deals with one agency for clarifying any outstanding details and receives two invoices, one for the ABSA registration and a second for all the other registrations. Please note that categories A, B, C, & G fitting registration are exempt in BC & SK.

The following documentation is required for ABSA to register your fitting design and to apply for fitting registration in other provinces on your behalf:

1.  Two copies of the design data on the fittings, (i.e. the catalogs/drawings) for each jurisdiction in which registration is required. Note: treat Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut as one jurisdiction as these are processed by ACI Central Inc. Therefore, if registration is required across Canada, a total of 14 copies are required (i.e. two each for BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and ACIC.) To obtain a ACIC statutory declaration form you may download one from www.acicrn.com.

2.  Two signed (i.e. with original signatures) Statutory Declaration forms for each of the   jurisdictions.  Again, treat ACI Central Inc. member jurisdictions as one.  ACIC requires their own "Universal Statutory Declaration Form" along with a "Fitting Information Form" both forms are available on their website www.acicrn.com.  All others will accept the Alberta Statutory Declaration form AB-41. 

3.  One copy of the manufacturer's QC Certificate for each provincial submission.

Following a successful review for registration in Alberta, ABSA will submit this information plus proof of registration in Alberta to the respective jurisdictions for their registration and will pay the applicable registration fees on your behalf. Note that these registration fees vary by province, and by the scope of the registration, so it is not feasible to state the fees in advance. ABSA will, in turn, bill you for their own registration fee and the other registration bodies fees plus an administration fee of $545.00 + GST (regardless of how many jurisdictions you are applying to) plus courier and handling charges of $47.00 + GST for each province for which you request registration. Where possible, ABSA will answer any questions that may arise from any other jurisdictions without your having to get involved.

For one registration across Canada, the administration fee plus courier and handling fees would be $868.35 [($545.00 + 6 x $47.00) + 5% GST].
