CSA B339 and CSA B341 require facilities applying for registration or renewal as requalifiers of cylinders and/or as periodic inspection and test bodies of UN pressure receptacles by the pressure hydrostatic retest and visual inspection method to include in their application a description of the training, qualifications, and experience that enables their staff to perform the inspections and tests required by CSA B339 and/or CSA B341. Transport Canada will assess the adequacy of the training identified by each applicant in deciding whether or not to grant a registration. As always, applicants must demonstrate familiarity with the standard and a capability to consistently comply with its requirements.
