7: Applied to boiler, pressure vessel, pressure piping, pressure fitting design applications in the event that an application is cancelled by the applicant or rejected by BC Safety Authority prior to engineering review. This fee is in lieu of any design registration fee.
- and/or significant communication exchanges are required due to the applicant's lack of responsiveness in responding to questions and issues which may arise during the registration process
- codes and standards are unique, unfamiliar or new to the Province of BC - very large scope of review requiring multiple days of dedicated effort
- dependence upon application of engineering judgement rather than prescriptive design code clauses
8: This rate applies for optional services that are separate from and beyond the scope of the official design registration process; for example: clients who may be seeking input on compliance of a proposed boiler design prior to submitting a completed application for registration.
- unfamiliarity with applicable codes, standards, design practices or registration process

1: A design which has been previously registered by another Province in Canada and has a Canadian Registration Number (CRN). Both the design documentation and the proof of registration in another Province must be included with the application.2: Boiler, pressure vessel, pressure piping, pressure fitting designs whose application contents are consistent with the published guidance material and are not likely to require any substantial review effort to verify compliance.
- the design is novel
3: Applications may be reclassified by BCSA as "complex" following submission where there is a large scope of design review effort resulting from:
4: Applications may be reclassified by BCSA as "exceptional" following submission where, in addition to the factors considered for "complex", reviews as defined above, one or more of the following conditions
5: Turn-Around Times - Standard Design Registration and Expedited Services
BCSA works to an average turn-around time of 20 - 30 business days for the initial engineering review of standard design registrations, dependent on the volume of applications. Complete registration time is dependent upon the quality of the application and timeliness of the applicant's responses during the process. Two options for expedited service (A & B) are available dependent on the volume of applications and response times for the initial engineering review under each service are provided above.
6: Applied to boiler, pressure vessel, pressure piping, pressure fitting designs in the event that an application is cancelled by the applicant or rejected by BC Safety Authority after engineering review has occurred. This fee is in lieu of any design registration fee.

BC SAFETY AUTHORITYFEE SCHEDULE: EDUCATION EXAM INVIGILATION
OFF-SITE EXAM INVIGILATION SERVICES
Invigilation services are provided by BC Safety Authority to support certification and licensing in a number of technologies including Boilers & Pressure Vessels, Electrical, Gas and Elevating Devices.
Invigilation fees are charged per exam, irrespective of the number of participants.
Travel fees
Travel fees are charged in addition to the core invigilation fees in order to cover expenses incurred by BC Safety Authority when travelling to a client or other educational institution.
