Issues regarding the qualifications for repairing pressure vessels

The source seems to be an interpretation of the safety law

Section 2 Production Article 18 **A licensing system shall be implemented for the production of special equipment in accordance with the principle of classified supervision and management. Special equipment manufacturing units must meet the following conditions and obtain permission from the department responsible for the supervision and management of special equipment safety before they can engage in manufacturing activities: (1) They must have professional technical personnel suitable for such production ； (II) Have equipment, facilities, and work premises suitable for production ； (III) It has sound systems for quality assurance, safety management, and job responsibilities. 【Interpretation】This article sets out the principle provisions regarding the administrative licensing for the production of special equipment and the requirements for entities engaged in such production. I. The purpose of establishing a production licensing system for special equipment. (Regulations) The production licensing system for special equipment is an important market access mechanism, as well as a key administrative measure for the safety supervision of such equipment. To improve administrative efficiency and the effectiveness of safety supervision, while minimizing social safety costs as much as possible while ensuring safety, the special equipment safety supervision and management department under the State Council shall design, establish, and implement a production licensing system for special equipment in accordance with the principles of classified supervision and management, taking into account the characteristics, level of risk, and complexity of different types of special equipment, as well as the distinct features of the production activities carried out by units responsible for the design, manufacturing, installation, modification, and repair of such equipment. The design of special equipment determines important aspects such as the materials used, parameters, main manufacturing methods, inspection and testing procedures, as well as the safety requirements that must be observed during use. It has a significant impact on safety and represents the starting point of all production processes; any errors in its design can lead to a series of problems, resulting in serious economic losses. Therefore, strict management is essential. At present, our country implements licensing regulation for design units of pressure vessels and pressure pipelines. The licensing system for the manufacture of boiler and pressure vessels has been in use in China for nearly 30 years, playing an important role in ensuring the quality of such equipment and regulating the market. Elevators, lifting machinery, large-scale amusement facilities, as well as certain specialized motor vehicles used within factories and plants, and pressure pipeline components were previously subject to the industrial product production licensing system. During the administrative approval reform carried out by the State Council at the beginning of 2003, it was decided to include these products under the special equipment manufacturing licensing system, thereby enabling comprehensive safety supervision of all special equipment and contributing to an improvement in their safety standards. The licensing system for the installation and modification of special equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels, pressure pipelines, elevators, and lifting machinery has been in place in China for over 20 years, playing an important role in ensuring the quality of such equipment and regulating the market. Since most special equipment undergoes final installation, debugging, and functional testing on the site where it will be used, on-site installation is equivalent to the installation process in the factory for finished products. Effective control of installation quality is one of the most important factors in ensuring the intrinsic safety of such equipment, and this must be ensured through market access regulations ； Modification and repair are equivalent to a specific form of manufacturing, and the permits for modification and repair are themselves a special form of manufacturing permit.

Regarding the qualification issue, it depends on the licensing rules; see the attachment.

Thank you so much! ! ! Is this TSG R3001-2006 still valid after the new regulations take effect?

TSG R3001-2006 \"Rules for Licensing the Installation, Modification, and Repair of Pressure Vessels\" remains in force.

The “Grand Capacity Regulations” integrate a series of rules regarding safety management and do not cover matters related to administrative licensing.

I’ve learned it now; I finally know where it comes from! I always thought it was a requirement specified in the large-capacity regulations. . . .

Where has your fellow practitioner, One Page Book, been lately?

Where does this definition come from? Is it the official version...
