Problems with obtaining A2 design certificate?
Thread Content
I heard that the old "Rules" have been abolished, so when obtaining the A2 design certificate, do I still have to follow the conditions of the old "Rules"? The number of people who do not meet the rules and the two reviewers plus the senior engineer certificate will not be issued?
Are you talking about the "Pressure Vessel and Pressure Piping Design Permit Rules"? Where does it say it has been abolished?
It’s not said to be abolished, it’s just that auditors no longer need to hold certificates to work.
There is no abolition. Obtaining design qualifications also requires two reviewers. However, Document No. 1336 stated that evidence does not need to be obtained for the audit, and the company only needs to appoint itself and have the corresponding capabilities. But it is not said how big the corresponding ability is. If you don't get the certificate, you don't know how to calculate it when you design the qualification certificate.
Please refer to Document No. 1366 issued by the General Administration in 2017. First of all, you must train. If you train yourself, training records are indispensable. If third-party training is provided, a certificate will generally be issued. In addition, the company itself is responsible for ensuring that it has the corresponding capabilities. Personnel engaged in pressure vessel design review and approval, pressure piping design review and approval (hereinafter referred to as design approval personnel), and designers engaged in pressure vessel analysis and design (hereinafter referred to as analysis and design personnel) no longer need to obtain corresponding qualifications in accordance with Article 6 of the "Pressure Vessel and Pressure Piping Design Permit Rules" (TSGR1001-2008). Pressure vessel design units and pressure piping design units (hereinafter collectively referred to as design units) may themselves or entrust third-party professional institutions to conduct training and assessment of design approval personnel and analysis and design personnel to ensure that they have the corresponding capabilities.
Starting from June this year, design permission will no longer be obtained separately.
It is true that reforms are all aimed at removing disadvantages, but they do not think clearly, or do not explain the specific operation, which makes people confused. It seems to simplify the process and reduce complicated procedures. In fact, some things are unavoidable. For example, you abolished the current practice of qualification and competency certification. It seems to have decentralized power, but how to coordinate the degree of recognition?
Since the manufacturing company is no longer conducting design approval, can the manufacturing company design the container drawings without obtaining a design certificate?
The condition is that you should have design capabilities. It is understood that manufacturing units with original design qualifications have design capabilities.
