How are general accidents, relatively serious accidents, major accidents, and especially serious accidents defined in the Special Equipment Safety Law?

The Special Equipment Safety Law does not specify exact definitions for the number of casualties in each type of accident; rather, its classification is based on assessments of various factors such as the nature of the accident, the extent of the damage, and its social impact. As for the definition in terms of quantity, China generally follows the definition outlined in the Regulations on the Reporting, Investigation, and Handling of Production Safety Accidents: 1. A minor accident refers to an accident in which the direct economic loss is less than 200,000 yuan, or the number of deaths is three or fewer, with the number of seriously injured persons being ten or fewer. 2. Major accidents: refer to accidents in which the direct economic loss is between 200,000 yuan and 1 million yuan, or the number of deaths is between three and ten, or the number of seriously injured persons is between ten and fifty. 3. Major accident: refers to an accident in which the direct economic loss is between 1 million yuan and 5 million yuan, or the number of deaths is between 10 and 20, or the number of seriously injured persons is between 50 and 100. 4. Extraordinarily serious accidents: refer to accidents with direct economic losses of over 5 million yuan, or 20 or more deaths, or 100 or more severe injuries. It should be noted that this definition can only serve as a reference; whether an incident constitutes a major accident actually requires a comprehensive assessment based on various factors. .
