Key Country Standards/Certifications for Accumulator Charging Valves 

• Canada: Canadian Registration Numbers (CRN) can be obtained by making an accumulator from ASME-certified material using ASME design standards, and then applying for the registration number. Each province has its own registration number, thus the final destination of the accumulator must be known. Some provinces accept alternative design codes like PED for specific markets such as farming and mining. 

• China: Accumulators shipped to China must be approved by the Special Equipment Licensing Office (SELO) . SELO is based on ASME and PED standards. A complete audit is required and it starts with a proposal to receive Chinese certification. After that document is reviewed, test samples must be submitted. Once the test pieces are approved, inspectors conduct an audit at the accumulator manufacturing facility and review the documented quality-control manual. Further, they examine and review the heat codes and material traceability process. With Chinese approval, a manufacturing license is then issued. Additionally, paperwork before and after the purchase of the accumulator must be submitted to China for tracking purposes. 

• American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) : Accumulators on shipping vessels and oil rigs require this certification. Accumulators to be added to a Product Design Assessment Certificate must meet ASME design requirements, plus any additional ABS requirements. Manufacturers can obtain an ABS Certificate of Manufacturing Assessment and many accumulators are listed on the Bureau’s List of Type Approved Products. An ABS-approved inspector must witness testing at the manufacturer of all ABS-approved accumulators.
