Do all personnel working in the instrumentation field need to obtain the Special Operation Certificate for Chemical Industry Automation and Control Instrumentation?
Thread Content
According to Document No. 30, “On September 16, operations involving chemical industry automation control instruments refer to the installation, repair, and maintenance of such instrument systems.” Operations related to chemical industry automation control instruments are classified as special operations; personnel engaged in these operations must hold valid certificates to work. Operating without the required certificates constitutes a major safety hazard. Normally, instrument technicians go to the site to maintain the instruments, while operators are also responsible for the maintenance and repair of control systems; both are involved in related tasks. Does that mean everyone needs to obtain certification?
Yes, according to the regulations, personnel engaged in tasks such as the installation, repair, and maintenance of chemical automation control instrument systems must obtain the corresponding special operation certificates. This means that all personnel working with instruments must hold valid certificates if they are involved in the aforementioned tasks. .
Whether it is the maintenance of field instruments and analytical instruments, or the maintenance of systems such as DCS/SIS, personnel in these roles should hold relevant certifications. By \"operators\" you mean those involved in process operations, right? They are only responsible for carrying out daily process operations and monitoring, and in my opinion, they do not need to have any certifications.
As I understand it, I also require all personnel working with instruments to obtain the necessary certifications, as it seems that these tasks involve the repair, maintenance, and operation of instruments. By internal operators, I mean those who work with control systems; this also includes the inspection and maintenance of such systems, and certification is required for this role
