Our company is a pressure vessel design unit. I am preparing the documents for renewing the unit’s certificate. I have a question for you to ask.: TSG R1001-2008 "Pressure Vessel and Pressure Piping Design Permit Rules" Chapter 5, Article 36, Paragraph 11: Check the allocation and changes of design personnel at all levels. Please tell me how much of this change is considered legal. Please give me the answer and source, thank you. (Note: Article 64, Paragraph 3 of the Old Version of the Licensing Rules: The number of designers at all levels changes by no more than 20% each year. But it is not mentioned in the new standard. )
It is safer to use the old version of 20%.
This problem should not be a big problem, and there should be no problem if you communicate well with the inspection team. Now I have a company where the auditors who collect certificates have all been changed. When renewing certificates, the inspection team only asked questions and did not ask any further questions.
Now basically no matter the personnel changes, as long as there are enough people, it will be enough to pass the assessment.
Is there any basis for this? It’s better to play it safe and keep it within 20%

Issues with designers and relevant technical institutions (1) Designers. "Designers" are mentioned in many places in the "Rules", and each place has different meanings. 1. Paragraph (2) of Article 9, "...more than 50% of the personnel engaged in design work in the pressure vessel design unit" refers to personnel in design and verification positions. 2. Article 12 Paragraph (1) “Total number of full-time designers in Class A and C pressure vessel design units” and Paragraph (2) “Total number of full-time designers in Class D pressure vessel design units” refer to the total number of designers at all levels in pressure vessel design units. Paragraph (3) "Full-time designers of SAD-level pressure vessel design units" refers to the total number of designers at all levels of SAD-level pressure vessel design units, "... among which full-time analysis and design personnel" refers to personnel in design positions. 3. Article 20 "Every person engaged in pressure vessel design" refers to the personnel in the design position. 4. The three design personnel in paragraph (6) of Article 24 all refer to personnel in design positions. 5. “Designers at all levels” in paragraph (11) of Article 36 and paragraph (3) of Article 38 refer to all designers. 6. Paragraph (3) of Article 39 “The staffing and personnel changes of design personnel at all levels shall basically comply with the regulations.” The proportion of the number of all designers that is reduced or changed every year does not exceed 20% of the total number of designers is in compliance with the regulations, among which the number of changes is the number of replacements and reductions. (2) Relevant technical institutions. Article 9 (2) "Pressure Vessel Technical Organization", for Class A, C or SAD pressure vessel design units, refers to the National Boiler and Pressure Vessel Standardization Technical Committee or * * Other pressure vessel technical institutions commissioned by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine ; For D-class pressure vessel design units, it refers to the pressure vessel technical institutions entrusted by the National Boiler and Pressure Vessel Standardization Technical Committee or the General Administration and provincial special equipment safety supervision agencies. “……"No more personnel assessment will be conducted during the appraisal review" means that all personnel in design and verification positions will no longer undergo written open-book assessment during the certification review. Paragraph (3), "...participate in professional training organized by relevant institutions more than 2 times (inclusive)", the total number of hours of professional training for the 2 times should be at least 40 hours. Professional training is conducted by the organization that organizes the assessment of design reviewers. For Class A, Class C or SAD pressure vessel design units, it refers to the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Boiler and Pressure Vessels. ; For D-class pressure vessel design units, it refers to the pressure vessel technical institutions entrusted by the National Boiler and Pressure Vessel Standardization Technical Committee or provincial special equipment safety supervision agencies. 2. Other issues that need explanation (1) Article 11, paragraph (1), "branch nature" only refers to branches affiliated to large state-owned enterprises such as PetroChina and Sinopec. All other pressure vessel design units should hold an enterprise legal person business license or a public institution legal person certificate. (2) A2(2) of Annex A, "C2 level, refers to car tank trucks and long tube trailers" should be "C2 level, refers to car tank trucks or long tube trailers". (3) The relationship between C1, C2, C3 and C4 in Appendix C is shown in Table 1. August 13, 2008
