Our company completed the renewal process for its pressure vessel manufacturing license last month. However, the inspectors did not accept the explanations provided by the **Market Regulation Bureau and still required our auditors to take a closed-book computer-based exam. But the exam questions are still very difficult; the scope of the questions is wide, with around 10 questions related to non-ferrous metals and stress analysis and design. If one doesn’t study hard as required under normal circumstances, it’s quite difficult to score 70 points to pass. To ensure this qualification for assessment, it is important to keep learning about the relevant standards on a regular basis; only in this way can one pass the practical exam. This exam is quite fair – results are available immediately once the submission is made, and there is no possibility of cheating.
