Thread Content

Article 24: After the installation, modification, or repair of special equipment is completed, the construction unit responsible for such work shall transfer the relevant technical documents and materials to the entity that uses the special equipment within 30 days following the completion inspection. The user of special equipment shall include it in the safety technical file of such equipment. Interpretation of the provision: This provision sets out the obligation of installation, modification, and repair entities to provide completion documents. The technical documents related to the installation, modification, and repair of special equipment serve as proof that such activities comply with relevant regulations; they also contain information on the safety performance parameters of various devices. These documents are just as important as the design and manufacturing documents, and it is the responsibility of the construction party to transfer them to the users in a timely manner. To allow time for the organization of the documents, this provision stipulates that handover shall take place within 30 days after acceptance. Acceptance refers to the situation where the project owner and the contractor agree to conclude the installation, renovation, or repair work, and sign the relevant acceptance documents.
