I just received a message from a friend saying that chemical plants in Changji Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, are required to undergo safety design assessments after one year of operation. Does anyone know anything about this? Are there any official announcements? Last year I heard that in Xinjiang the requirement was five years; are there any new developments recently? Please help
According to the information I found, as of June 1, 2021, Changji Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang updated its requirements regarding the safety design assessments for chemical enterprises. It stipulates that such enterprises must undergo a safety design assessment every 3 years. In addition, entities involved in the production, handling, storage, use, or transportation of hazardous chemicals in the chemical industry are required to commission qualified safety assessment agencies to conduct safety evaluations in accordance with relevant regulations. In addition, in accordance with **local laws, regulations, and standards, chemical enterprises are also required to carry out standardization efforts for safe production and complete the relevant inspections on schedule. Specifically, if chemical enterprises carry out activities such as the production, operation, storage, use, and transportation of hazardous chemicals within the Changji Uygur Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, they are required to conduct safety design assessments in accordance with the following requirements: 1. The first safety design assessment shall be carried out 1 year after the enterprise begins operations, and subsequent assessments should be conducted every 3 years. 2. Safety design diagnosis shall be carried out by accredited and registered safety assessment agencies. 3. The contents of safety design diagnosis should include an assessment of the evaluated entity’s safety management systems, production equipment, workplace environment, personnel qualifications, etc., and should provide recommendations for addressing any existing safety hazards. It should be noted that the information above is for reference only; actual practices may vary depending on factors such as region and policies. It is recommended that you obtain information through official channels or local relevant departments. .
