Regarding design renewal
Thread Content
Consultation: If a unit (A1, A2) has a total of 12 pressure vessel designers, 7 of whom hold certification cards issued by the Pressure Vessel Standards Committee. The company issued a document appointing 4 approvers. When applying for a renewal of the unit’s design certification, is it still necessary to conduct assessments of the personnel?
If it is an evaluation team assigned by the accreditation body, no on-site assessment is required, as they are the ones who issue the certificates. It’s hard to say for the evaluation panels other than the Capacity Evaluation Committee; on-site assessment is more likely.
They refuse to recognize each other; review panels that are not from the issuing authority will not approve it – it’s all about interests
It is certain that if it is the expert panel from the Rongbiao Committee that conducts the review, no on-site assessment is required; as for other evaluation agencies, it’s hard to say, but I think their assessments would be accepted, after all, the certification issued by the Rongbiao Committee is recognized. Moreover, with your company’s strong design team, generally two certified auditors are sufficient.
Except for the 7 personnel holding audit certificates issued by the Standards Approval Committee, all other people must take an exam; it is an open-book exam lasting 2 hours. Our organization has just renewed its certificates.
Reviewers do not need to take any exams; the review panel usually requests 4 sets of drawings, which must be designed and then submitted for verification and defense. . .
"Except for the 7 personnel holding audit certificates issued by the Standards Approval Committee, all other people must take an exam; it is an open-book exam lasting 2 hours. Our organization has just renewed its certificates. " It seems the procedures and requirements are the same as before.
The licensing rules stipulate that if more than 50% of the personnel have received training in relevant fields and possess certificates of successful completion, the evaluation process can be simplified, with no need to assess these personnel during the verification process. How should this provision be understood?
This refers to the designers and reviewers; you won’t be able to obtain a certification of passing the assessment. Our company has just passed the re-certification process conducted by the China Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute. Except for the person in charge of approval who did not take the exam, all other reviewers, verifiers, and designers took the exam; the difficulty level was roughly equivalent to that of the review exams, which is quite high.
Is that how it’s played? It seems the fake evidence tested was useless
