Aflex achieves comprehensive CRN certification in Canada

Aflex Hose has secured Canadian Registration Number (CRN) approval for a wide range of flexible hose assembles across its sanitary and industrial PTFE hose portfolios, after rigorous testing and design review to ensure compliance with Canadian pressure‑equipment safety requirements.

The CRN certification provides assurance to Aflex customers that its hoses are designed for safe, compliant operation within participating Canadian jurisdictions.

Aflex now has a CRN number for flexible hose assemblies for use across all Canadian provinces.

A CRN confirms that a design has been reviewed and accepted by a Canadian provincial or territorial safety authority, ensuring it meets the requirements of CSA B51 and applicable ASME pressure‑equipment codes.

Aflex now holds CRN approval for multiple products including Pharmaline N, Bioflex Ultra, Corroflon, Corroline+, FaBLINE and BioPure silicone hose assemblies. A wide range of Aflex Hose end-fittings types and sizes are included for each product.

Brent Sweezey, General Manager at Watson-Marlow Canada, said: “Achieving CRN numbers shows our Aflex hose range meets Canadian safety standards and enables us to supply fully compliant hose assemblies across Canada, eliminating the risk of approval delays. We can support engineering teams with clear documentation, including CRN specific pressure/temperature ratings and certification packages. This recognition strengthens the local support of Watson‑Marlow Canada, which now holds the complete library of assembly specific CRN certificates.”

Aflex will continue expanding its CRN portfolio to cover additional product ranges and fittings. For detailed CRN documentation or application support, customers can contact the engineering team at engineering.canada@wmfts.com
