Are boilers considered major hazard sources?

Boilers with a rated steam pressure of more than 2.5 MPa are considered major hazard sources; otherwise, they are not. Basis: Safety Supervision and Coordination Document No. [2004] 56, Item 5. Boilers: Boilers that meet one of the following conditions: (1) Steam boilers with a rated steam pressure greater than 2.5 MPa and a rated evaporation capacity of 10 t/h or more. (2) Hot water boilers with a rated outlet temperature of 120°C or higher, and a rated power of 14 MW or higher.

Does GB18218-2009 not specify that boilers are major hazard sources?

Does GB18218-2009 not specify that boilers are major hazard sources?

**Following the issuance of Document No. 56 by the State Administration of Work Safety, titled \"Guiding Opinions on the Supervision and Management of Major Hazard Sources,\" some competent authorities have designated steam boilers with a steam pressure greater than 2.5 Mpa and an evaporation rate greater than 10 t/h, as well as hot water boilers with a outlet temperature greater than 120°C and a power output of 14 MW or more, as statutory major hazard sources (which must be registered in accordance with the requirements of the \"Work Safety Law\"). This is debatable. Should boilers be classified as statutory major hazard sources? Identification must be carried out in accordance with **standards; the scope cannot be arbitrarily expanded or reduced. Of course, some competent authorities may issue detailed implementation rules and guiding principles based on the **standards, but such rules and guidelines must be consistent with the **standards; otherwise, it will lead to multiple sources of regulations and overlapping management. GB18218-2000 \"Identification of Major Hazard Sources\" is the **standard** for identifying major hazard sources in China. This **standard** does not include boilers and their contents within the scope of major hazard source identification, yet some regulatory authorities classify boilers as statutory major hazard sources, which is itself illegal

Same idea, agree, like it

I’ve learned it.* There are two conditions: (1) The steam boiler must have a rated steam pressure of more than 2.5 MPa, and a rated evaporation capacity of 10 t/h or more. (2) Hot water boilers with a rated outlet temperature of 120°C or higher, and a rated power of 14 MW or higher.
