What is the difference between reviewers and auditors in a design institute?
Thread Content
1. What are the differences in the tasks of verification and review personnel in design institutes? (For example, given a condition diagram, what exactly should verification and review personnel look at? Please be specific.) 2. Is it necessary for the design institute to have dedicated personnel for verification and review (or should the designers in this area also handle the verification and review tasks for other areas)? Please share your opinions... This post was last edited by hutom123 on 2009-3-24 at 10:28.]
Actually, it’s just a slight difference in meaning; in practical work, one can handle both auditing and verification! Let’s wait and see what others have to say
Both verification and review require a certain number of years of experience; for verification, at least 3 years of design experience is needed, along with a professional technical title at the junior level or above； For review, one is required to have over 8 years of experience in design, over 3 years of experience in verification, and a professional technical title at the junior level or above. Auditors for pressure pipelines and pressure vessels must also pass the **auditor examination. For differences in their job responsibilities, see http://bbs.hcbbs.com/archiver/tid-267367.html
Verification and auditing require specialized qualifications to carry out. Generally, the requirements for verification include having an intermediate or higher professional title, at least 3 years of design experience, passing a professional knowledge assessment, and obtaining the corresponding verification qualification. For auditing, one generally needs to have an advanced professional title or higher, as well as pass a professional knowledge assessment to obtain the qualification for auditing. Approval is the highest level, and it is usually held by the chief engineer of the design institute. The design institute releases lists of designers, reviewers, and approvers every year.
It’s not in a literal sense. Although in practice, the review process isn’t very thorough; in some design schools, this review step is essentially meaningless, giving the impression that anyone can carry out the review. Yet ultimately, one still cannot sign off carelessly.
