Our company wishes to obtain a Class D pressure vessel manufacturing license. How to staff non-destructive testing personnel. There are several scenarios; not all of them may be feasible. 1.1 person for 4 tasks (UT/MT/RT/PT); the rest is outsourced. 2.1 person for 2 tasks (RT/UT); the rest is outsourced. 3. Two people, 4 tasks (1 person for RT/UT, 1 person for MT/PT). 4..2 people for 4 tasks (1 person for RT, MT/PT, 1 person for UT). In which case are there issues with obtaining evidence?
I think there should be at least two rays; otherwise, there’s an RT and something else, and for outsourcing, an outsourcing agreement is required. It’s best for you to consult the Special Inspection Institute; there should be clear regulations on this matter
Reply to 2# zhaolei092: In my opinion, if outsourcing is involved, one should have at least the qualifications for managing one outsourcing project; for example, if outsourcing RT tasks, one should have one person dedicated to handling RT tasks. It can also be partially outsourced; for the parts that are not outsourced, the required personnel must be employed in accordance with regulations, and the same applies to those that are outsourced.
Regarding the Class D pressure vessel production license that is desired, the number of non-destructive testing personnel in the pressure vessel manufacturing unit is shown in the table below: Table of the Number of Non-Destructive Testing Personnel in Pressure Vessel Manufacturing Units ---------------------------------------------------------- | Inspection Method| | | | | | | | License Level | RT | UT | MT | PT | Minimum Number of Personnel| | License Type |------|------|------|------| | | Number of Inspections| | | | | | | | | Persons| │ │ License Level | III | II | III | II | III | II | III | II | | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | AR1 | 1 | 4 | | 3 | | 2 | | 2 | 8 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | AR2 | 1 | 3 | | 3 | | 2 | | 2 | 6 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | AR3 | 1 | 3 | | 3 | | 3 | | 3 | 6 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | AR4 | | | 1 | 3 | 1 | 2 | | | 6 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | BR1 | | 3 | | 3 | | 2 | | 2 | 4 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | BR2 | | 2 | | 2 | | 2 | | | 4 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | CR1 | 1 | 3 | | 3 | | 3 | | 2 | 5 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | CR2 | 1 | 3 | | 2 | | 2 | | 2 | 5 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | DR1 | | | | 3 | | 3 | | 2 | 4 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | DR2 | 1 | 3 | | 2 | | 2 | | 2 | 5 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | DR3 | 1 | 2 | | 2 | | 2 | | 2 | 5 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | DR4 | | 2 | | 2 | | 2 | | 2 | 4 | |------------|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--------| | DR5 | | 2 | | 2 | | | | | 3 | In my opinion, in the first scenario, where one person is responsible for 4 inspection methods (UT/MT/RT/PT), such a person should be considered to have a Level II qualification, and all these tasks should be outsourced. Sure. In the second case, 1 person handles 2 tasks (RT/UT), with the rest outsourced. No, MT/PT does not have Level II personnel. In the third scenario, for the two persons and four tasks (1 person doing RT/UT and 1 person doing MT/PT), they should be classified as Level II personnel, with all tasks outsourced. Sure. In the fourth scenario, 2 people handling 4 tasks (1 person for RT, MT/PT, and 1 person for UT) should be classified as Level II personnel, with all tasks outsourced. Sure. Since each company of yours has only one person per task, it is not possible to outsource other tasks; everything must be outsourced entirely.
I’m sorry; due to an internet issue, I thought it hadn’t been sent, so I’m posting it again. Please forgive me.
For Class D pressure vessels: 1. In principle, the person responsible for non-destructive testing, or any other individual involved, should possess a qualification of level 2 or higher for outsourced projects; 2. However, in practice, based on the approaches adopted in various provinces and cities, it is sufficient to have an RT2 qualified person to handle all non-destructive testing tasks through outsourcing.
