TSSA Certifications & Authorizations

Seven authorizations. Every certificate number verifiable with TSSA.

TSSA Certifications & Authorizations

Every certificate number on this page is listed publicly by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority and can be verified independently.

International Mobile Welding Ltd. holds seven TSSA authorizations: six Certificates of Authorization covering ASME B31.1 power piping, ASME B31.3 process piping, ASME B31.5 refrigeration piping, boiler and pressure vessel repair and alteration, hot tapping and line stopping, and the Alternate Piping Process — plus a TSSA Fuels Contractor Registration. All are registered to 5635 King Rd. RR 3, Nobleton, Ontario L0G 1N0.

What each authorization means for your project

Plain-language explanation of the scope each certificate carries.

ASME B31.1 — power piping (QA-01697)

B31.1 governs piping in power generating stations, industrial plants and central and district heating systems: boiler external piping, high-pressure steam and hot water, and the connections around them. Holding it shop and field means we can both fabricate B31.1 piping in Nobleton and install or modify it in your plant. Power piping →

ASME B31.3 — process piping (QA-01698)

B31.3 governs piping that carries process fluids in industrial and processing facilities — chemicals, process and chilled water, compressed gases and in-plant steam distribution. Most plant utility and distribution work in Ontario falls under this code. Process piping →

ASME B31.5 — refrigeration piping (QA-03667)

B31.5 governs refrigerant and secondary coolant piping. It applies to chillers, process cooling and refrigeration systems in food, beverage and cold storage facilities.

Boilers & pressure vessels (QA-01699)

A field authorization for repairing and altering registered boilers and pressure vessels. Repairs to a registered vessel must be carried out under a valid Certificate of Authorization — an unauthorized repair can invalidate the vessel's registration.

Hot tapping and line stopping (QA-03336)

Covers making connections into, and temporarily isolating, piping systems that remain pressurized and in service. This is a separate authorization from general pressure piping installation. Hot tapping → Line stopping →

Alternate Piping Process — ALT (QA-10894)

The ALT programme allows qualifying pressure piping installations to proceed under our own TSSA-accepted quality program rather than routing every joint through individual field inspection. On qualifying work that removes an inspection scheduling dependency from the critical path. Not every installation qualifies — we confirm the applicable route before work starts.

Trade certifications held by our crews

  • TSSA-certified welders for pressure piping, boilers and pressure vessels
  • Red Seal welders across SMAW, GTAW and GMAW
  • Red Seal industrial millwrights for mechanical installation and alignment
  • Dedicated hot tapping technicians trained on live pressurized systems
  • Second-generation leadership with a Mechanical Engineering background in ASME and CSA application

How to verify our authorizations

All seven authorizations are on public TSSA registers. The six Certificates of Authorization are listed on the certificate holder register against this address, with the same numbers, scopes and expiry dates shown above. The Fuels Contractor Registration is on the separate registered fuels contractor register. You do not have to take our word for any of it.

If a contractor cannot produce the certificate number for the code your project falls under, that is worth knowing before the work starts, not after.

Common Questions

Is International Mobile Welding TSSA certified?

Yes. IMW holds six TSSA Certificates of Authorization and a TSSA Fuels Contractor Registration, listed with certificate numbers above. All are registered to 5635 King Rd., Nobleton, Ontario.

What is a TSSA Certificate of Authorization?

It is the authorization a contractor must hold in Ontario to construct, install, repair or alter regulated pressure equipment under a given code. It is issued to a company for a defined scope — for example shop and field, or field only — and is tied to a TSSA-accepted quality control program, qualified welding procedures and qualified welders.

What is the difference between ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3?

B31.1 is the power piping code — boiler external piping, high-pressure steam and hot water, power and district energy plants. B31.3 is the process piping code — the fluids a plant processes or distributes internally. Allowable stresses, design margins, examination requirements and documentation all differ. A single facility often contains both, which is why IMW holds both authorizations rather than sub-contracting one of them.

Does IMW do nuclear work?

No. IMW is not currently a qualified nuclear supplier and holds no CSA N285 or N299 registration. Ownership has prior CSA N285 nuclear pressure boundary experience from earlier in their career, and nuclear supply chain qualification is a longer-term objective.

Need the certificate for your file?

Ask and we will send a copy of any authorization before you award the work.
