Preparation and review of pressure vessel quality plans
Thread Content
I have a question for the experts here: Who in the quality management system should sign off on the preparation and review of the quality plan for pressure vessels? It would be great if it could be specified which standards or regulations require this. Thank you!
The preparation and review of the pressure vessel quality plan are typically signed off by the company’s quality manager or the head of the quality management department. For specific details, refer to the relevant provisions on quality control in the \"Law on the Safety of Special Equipment\" and the \"Regulations on the Technical Supervision of Pressure Vessels.\" These regulations generally require enterprises to establish and implement strict quality assurance systems to ensure the safety and reliability of pressure vessels. At the same time, it is also necessary to comply with international quality management system standards such as ISO 9001. .
For the quality plan, some sections are prepared by the riveting process team, while others are prepared by the chief engineer’s office. In any case, the safety director must sign it now; as many signatures as possible can be added, with the responsible person signing for review and approval before the quality assurance signature is given
The regulations do not specify this; it depends on how your system documents define it.
Yes, I have seen some organizations’ quality plans during this period, which are implemented in accordance with their respective system documents
If it is done by the process department, it is reviewed by the person responsible for process quality control and approved by the quality assurance engineer. If it is carried out by the quality inspection department, it will be reviewed by the person responsible for quality control; specifically, it depends on what is specified in your company’s system documents
Generally, it is carried out by the Process Department or the Quality Assurance Department, reviewed by the process supervisor or inspection supervisor, and approved by the quality assurance officer.
