What is the nature of the \"Regulations on Safety Technical Inspection of Fixed Pressure Vessels\"?
Thread Content
Pressure vessel regulations are specific laws concerning pressure vessels, and they are mandatory. This is a document focused on safety technologies, issued by the **Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision. It sets requirements or establishes regulations from the perspective of technical supervision and enhanced management with regard to the classification of pressure vessels, material selection, structural design, manufacturing and welding, non-destructive testing, pressure testing, operation and management, regular inspections, as well as safety accessories. It is a technical regulation that must be followed by units responsible for the design, manufacture, installation, use, inspection, and repair of pressure vessels, as well as by the personnel involved in these activities. It also serves as a basis for the competent authorities to carry out safety and technical supervision and inspections of enterprises, institutions, and other entities.
It falls under the safety technical specifications for special equipment! Strictly speaking, they are technical standards that are subject to mandatory enforcement.
It’s not a standard; it’s a regulation mandated by the industry. The hierarchy of regulatory standards in China is: Constitution → Laws → Regulations → Rules → Standards
Pressure ranking: Operating pressure ≦ Maximum operating pressure ＜ (set pressure of safety valve). Design pressure = Airtightness test pressure ＜ Pneumatic test pressure (1.15 times the design pressure) ＜ Hydraulic test pressure (1.25 times the design pressure). Design pressure ＜ Maximum allowable operating pressure
Thank you for sharing! Amendment No. 1 to the Solid Content Regulation was just issued on the 4th
It should not be a mandatory industry regulation; it should be a **mandatory regulation**.
Pressure vessel regulations classify and manage vessels based on their degree of hazard, taking safety into consideration; they are safety-related regulations. GB/T150, on the other hand, is a technical standard
