What special equipment requires an annual inspection?
Thread Content
When I registered the new boiler here, the next inspection is in one year. When I went to apply, it was said that this year both internal and external inspections are required; the internal inspection seems to be done every three years, while the external inspection is done annually. Then the inspector saw the steam generator and asked, “Wasn’t this submitted for inspection?” This one has a water level interlock. An annual inspection is required, once a year. When newly registered, for new pressure vessels (i.e., reactors), the date of the next inspection is set as three years later. But it seems to need to be inspected once a year as well. (Could it be related to temperature-pressure interlocks)? If it is a pressure vessel such as a gas storage tank. There is no need for annual inspection.
Boilers, steam generators, and pressure vessels under certain conditions must undergo annual inspections. Specifically, boilers generally undergo external inspections once a year and internal inspections every three years ； Due to the water level interlock, steam generators must be inspected once a year ； Pressure vessels with temperature and pressure interlocks may also need to be inspected annually. Ordinary pressure vessels such as gas storage tanks, on the other hand, do not need to be inspected annually. .
This standard is very clearly stated in it
Organize the random materials and handle them in accordance with the requirements for random files. Generally, fixed pressure vessels or equipment manufactured by producers that are subject to supervision and regulation must obtain a usage permit. After obtaining the usage permit, follow the inspection schedule for special pressure vessel equipment.
According to TSG 08-2017, all pressure vessels within the specified scope must undergo an annual inspection at least once a year. No licensing is required; your company can carry out the inspections on its own
If you put it that way, is it the company that conducts its own inspections? No need for inspection by the Special Inspection Agency?
If it is a pressure pipeline, are there regulations requiring an inspection once a year? The pressure pipeline does not have an interlock device.
How dare you say such a thing! Article 83: If a special equipment user violates the provisions of this Law and commits one of the following acts, it shall be ordered to make corrections within a specified time limit ； If the violation is not corrected within the prescribed time, the use of the relevant special equipment shall be ordered to be stopped, and a fine of not less than 10,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan shall be imposed: (1) Failure to register the use of special equipment in accordance with the regulations ； (II) Failing to establish safety technical records for special equipment, or such records not meeting the prescribed requirements, or failing to install and use registration marks as well as regular inspection marks in accordance with the law ； (III) Failing to carry out regular maintenance and periodic self-inspections on the special equipment in use, or failing to conduct regular calibration and maintenance of the safety accessories and protective devices of such equipment, while also failing to keep records thereof ； (IV) Failing to submit an application for inspection in a timely manner and undergo the inspection as required by the safety technical specifications ； (5) Failing to treat the boiler water (medium) in accordance with the requirements of safety technical specifications ； (6) Failure to formulate a special emergency plan for accidents involving special equipment.
It can be done by oneself, or it can be commissioned to a special inspection agency. The personnel requirements that must be met in order to carry out such work oneself are as follows: 1. Safety managers from the employing unit (holding Certificate A) must organize workers who have received professional training (there are various types of worker certificates; currently, for work related to pressure vessels, the relevant certificates are R1, R2, and R3). Therefore, the inspectors can be those holding the corresponding R certificate or Certificate A ； 2. The approver shall meet the following requirements: a. Person in charge of safety management (holding Certificate A) ； b. Authorized security administrator (holding Certificate A). Therefore, for the annual inspection of pressure vessels, there must be two personnel holding Certificate A, or approval based on corresponding Certificate R and Certificate A is required. Additionally, it is important to note that the report must be approved by the local regulatory authorities; since the personnel from the special inspection agencies hold inspection certificates and are registered, their reports are certified and recognized by the State Administration for Market Regulation, which gives them much greater authority and reduces associated risks.
