1. Format requirements :

• Only PDF files with security features disabled will be accepted.
• A single file maximum size is 10MB and cumulative submission size is 100 MB.
• Each file name shall be 100 characters or less in length, this includes any directory names associated with the file.
• A maximum of 60 mins stand-by time before the portal automatically logs the user off.
• Edit, Chat, Status, Approval, Invoicing, and Assigning buttons are in development and their functionality will be released on a later date.

2. Attachment requirements :

• For a new submission, an AB-31 Application Form must be uploaded as a separate attachment and the file must be named simply, “AB-31.pdf” for easy identification by administrative staff. (An AB-31 Application Form need not be included for re-submissions, unless billing or contact information has changed and needs to be updated.)
• Separate submissions must be uploaded separately with all required documentation attached to the reference file upload.
• All uploaded files must be in PDF format only, with no PDF security features enabled.
• Files are to be directly uploaded to the portal account, not combined into compressed folders (no ‘ZIP’ or ‘RAR’ files) and not combined into attached upload account.
• Uploaded files for most submission types are to be separated by content type: a single file must contain only drawings, only a single fitting catalog, or only calculations (see next section for exception for weld procedure submissions).
• For fitting submissions, please include a scanned copy of the filled out AB-41 Statutory Declaration Form in case we are able to review it before receiving the original.As discussed above, an originally notarized hard copy must then be received before we can proceed with registration.
• All pages, including drawings, must be easily readable without magnification when printed to 11” x 17” or smaller paper, in black and white.
• Scanned pages should be scanned in black and white and preferably at 300 dpi. Pages should not be scanned in color or at a higher resolution unless absolutely necessary for clarity, in which case, the higher resolution should only be applied to those pages which need it. Higher resolutions and unnecessary color information can drastically increase the size of the file, making it difficult to work with.

• Upload the AB-31 Application Form alone in a single PDF file, named simply “AB-31.pdf”.
• Upload a scanned copy of your completed AB-41 Statutory Declaration Form alone in a single PDF file, named simply “AB-41.pdf”.

• Alternative to AB-41
  (Declaration of Conformity Form AB-351 -as alternative to the Statutory Declaration)

  • Upload an electronic format (PDF) of your completed AB-351 Declaration of Conformity Form alone in a single PDF file, named simply “AB-351.pdf”.

• If the fittings are being manufactured at a location outside of Alberta, provide a copy of your quality control certificate in a single PDF file named “QC Certificate.pdf”.
• Provide one or more additional PDF files with drawings and/or catalogs, and separately provide one or more PDF files with supporting calculations, correspondence, reports, etc., as required to justify registration.

• Upload the AB-31 Application Form alone in a single PDF file.
• Upload the rest of the submission in a single additional PDF file, entirely on letter size (8.5”x11”) pages, with documents arranged in the following order:
         i) WPS

               ii) PQRs (and lab reports for each)

               iii) MTRs (only for unassigned materials)

• Any pages of the above files which are scanned must be scanned in black and white, not in color or grayscale, and scanned at a resolution of no less than 300 DPI and no more than 600 DPI.
