1. Increased speed of service
We know that time is a critical factor in any project. This is why our team has been hard at work improving turnaround times by:
Overall reduction in standard application turnaround times*:
(5 days) reduction in average turnaround time
ED - 15% (7 days) reduction in average turnaround time
GA - 40% (26 days) reduction in average turnaround time
processing time vs. average processing times in 2021-2022; individual processing times may vary on a case-by-case basis
2. Improved application workflow
Since 2020, a critical area of focus has been enhancing the overall application experience. Transitioning from paper applications to digital submissions via the design registration portal has helped improve the overall application workflow in the following ways:
f
increased application transparency including up-to-date status tracking;
more updates throughout the application process;
more cost-efficient submissions (cost savings include printing, postage, and parcel insurance); and
elf-serve functionality which enables clients to track their progress, tailor application types and input fields, search for design registration submissions by admin number, contact the engineering team, and pay their invoices online.
3. Increased client support
support from us while completing their applications. Therefore, we have been focusing on ensuring there is ample support throughout the application process including:

3. Boiler, pressure vessel, pressure piping, and 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.
4. Applications may be reclassified by TSBC as "complex" following submission where there is a large scope of design review effort resulting from:
dependence upon application of engineering judgement rather than prescriptive design code clauses;
unfamiliarity with applicable codes, standards, design practices or registration process; and/or
significant communication exchanges are required due to the applicant's lack of responsiveness.
. by TSBC following “complex” submissions where there are additional factors to consider, including:
the design is novel;
codes and standards are unique, unfamiliar, or new to the province of BC; and
the scope is very large and requires multiple days to review.
6. Applied to boiler, pressure vessel, pressure piping, and pressure fitting designs if an application is cancelled by the applicant or rejected by Technical Safety BC after being reviewed by engineering. You would pay the cancellation fee instead of any design registration fee.
7. Applied to boiler, pressure vessel, pressure piping, and pressure fitting design applications in the event that an application is cancelled by the applicant before being reviewed by engineering. You would pay the cancellation fee instead of any design registration fee.
