A Quality Control Program (QCP) is a system of procedures that define how a company or individual accomplishes the construction, installation, alteration and repair of boiler and pressure vessel systems in accordance with the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Regulations set out by the Government of Saskatchewan.
Anyone who intends to construct, install, alter or repair a boiler and pressure vessel system must:
- Develop and implement a written QCP manual that is appropriate for the scope of the work to be carried out and meets the requirements of applicable codes and standards.
- Register the QCP manual with TSASK.
- Hold a valid contractor’s licence issued by TSASK.
- Carry out the construction, installation, alteration or repair in accordance with the registered QCP manual.
Other provinces use different terms for our Quality Control Program. In Alberta, it is called a QMS, and in Ontario, it is called a Non-Nuclear Quality Program.
Registration
To submit or resubmit your QCP manual for registration, complete the Application for Quality Control Program Review and Contractor’s Licence form.
The registration process consists of a manual review and audit. The audit will take place in a six month timeframe following completion of the manual review. If the audit is not completed within six months a new application and payment will be required. Any period of inactivity or failure to comply within the 6 month timeframe will result in the application being cancelled.
Once the Chief Inspector has reviewed and approved your QCP, TSASK will issue a Certificate of Registration and a contractor’s licence that is valid for three years after the date of issue. You will need to resubmit your manual for registration six months before its expiration to obtain a new, valid Certificate of Registration and contractor’s licence.
