Reporting Pressure Equipment Used for Agricultural Purposes

As of July 1, 2021, all boilers, pressure vessels, fittings and piping used exclusively for agricultural purposes must comply with:

Ontario Regulation 220/01: Boilers and Pressure Vessels, under the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000. This regulation applies to the design, construction, maintenance, use, operation, repair and service of boilers, pressure vessels and piping in Ontario.
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) B51:19 Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Pressure Piping Code, a national code that promotes safe design, construction, installation, operation, inspection, and repair practices.

The Government of Ontario revoked the exemption in O.Reg. 220/01 that was previously in place for boilers and pressure equipment used for agricultural purposes due to growing safety concerns.

Equipment that must be reported

The regulation pertains to the following equipment used for agricultural purposes (unless excluded as described below):

Steam boilers
Water boilers
Pressure vessels
Refrigeration equipment using ammonia, carbon dioxide, Group A1 refrigerants, and all other refrigerants
