Issues regarding the registration of pressure vessels
Thread Content
There is a pressure vessel that needs to be installed; it is for our own use and produced by our factory, which holds a manufacturing license. We now need to submit the documents required to initiate construction. I would like to ask whether it is possible to install and use it before submitting the notification documents? Is registration for use still required after the start-of-use notification?
It needs to be informed before installation; only after it’s installed can it be inspected and approved, and then.....
Go directly to the local Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau to find out what specific documents are required and what procedures need to be followed, depending on the local regulations and the influence of your company. It can be said that formal procedures affect the project timeline, but good communication makes it no problem. The pressure vessel use registration certificate is the lifelong identity card for pressure vessel equipment; annual inspection reports and comprehensive inspection reports become invalid once they expire, but a pressure vessel use registration certificate must always be in place.
It cannot be installed or used before the notification information is submitted
Installation notification is a procedure that must be carried out; as for whether installation and use are possible before the notification, it depends on your communication. Registration for use is usually done within one month after commissioning. According to TSG R7004-2013 \"Rules for Supervision and Inspection of Pressure Vessels\", installation supervision and inspection are no longer required.
Installation supervision inspection is not required, but notification is necessary.
