Does anyone have any experience of successfully completing the pressure vessel certification renewal after the implementation of TSG07-2019?

First, let me explain the current situation of pressure vessels in our unit. Our unit obtained the D1 and D2 pressure vessel design qualifications in 2017. The review body at that time was an review team formed by the Shandong Provincial Special Inspection Institute. After the review, the D1 and D2 pressure vessel design qualifications were mainly made into medium and low pressure Class II vessels. Our unit’s pressure vessel design license expires next year. It’s very difficult to renew the license. I can’t find any information about the experiences of units that have successfully renewed their licenses recently. Do you have any experience similar to our unit’s successful license renewals to share? Thanks again. I would like to ask a few additional questions that are of great concern to me right now.: 1. Does the Provincial Special Inspection Institute no longer have the qualifications to review pressure vessel certificate renewal? If you want to renew the certificate, you can only apply to the General Administration. 2. Does the current design of fixed pressure vessels require all the design qualifications of A1, A2, and A3 in the past? Fixed pressure vessels (limited to medium and low pressure vessels) can no longer appear? 3. I have also read a lot of discussions about TSG07-2019 on Haichuan. Will small design institutes like this in the past have to give up their pressure vessel design qualifications in the future?
Units that are solely engaged in the design of pressure vessels (not manufacturing) should obtain the regulatory design qualification for fixed pressure vessels, which should include large high-pressure vessels and spherical tanks.
So for a small unit like ours, which has insufficient personnel and technical strength and can only design Class I and II medium and low-pressure vessels, can’t it even keep its design license?
It doesn't matter. Since your boss can open a factory, he can solve this problem. Now there are no third-party agencies that can entrust it to handle it!
My unit just renewed its certificate in 2019. The renewal application was made to the General Administration. In the past, we obtained A1 and A2 certificates for fixed pressure vessel regulatory design. Now we need to change the certificates to obtain all design qualifications of A1, A2 and A3. As for the D1 and D2 certificates you obtained before, I remember that you still applied to the Provincial Special Inspection Institute to renew the certificates. Small design institutes still need to have them. * * It mainly controls high-pressure vessels, while medium and low pressures are controlled by the Provincial Special Inspection Institute.
Those who used to have A1 or A2 certificates now need A1, A2 or A3 certificates and apply to the General Administration. Those who used to have D1 or D2 certificates should still apply for D1 or D2 certificates from the Provincial Special Inspection Institute. We just changed our A certificate.
1. If the manufacturer only designs its own pressure vessels and does not obtain a separate design license, the design capability will be assessed when obtaining the manufacturing license, and the scope of the license can be limited (for example, only Class I and II vessels)； 2. If you still want to design externally, you can only apply to the General Administration. In addition to analysis, design and mobile containers, there is only one level left.: Fixed pressure vessel regulatory design qualification, but fixed pressure vessel regulatory design qualification can only apply for one of the metal vessel categories, not all three categories. When applying for verification, review, and approval, you must have design experience in spherical tanks, large high-pressure vessels, towers, and heat exchangers. Reactors can be negotiated. 3. The manufacturer can also only obtain manufacturing qualifications and outsource the design part.
For external design units, there is only one level left.: Stationary pressure vessel regulatory design qualifications. This fixed pressure vessel regulatory design qualification is divided into grades, A1, A2, A3, D, etc. Can I only apply for Class D external design?
In the second half of last year, Shandong Province carried out several publicity and implementation of licensing regulations, but there was still little understanding. This standardization work is too much.
I just passed the manufacturing and design review of A2 pressure vessels for a Shandong company. If you have any questions, please consult me, QQ: 835473541
