On the issue of design forensics

Our company currently holds a Class D design qualification, and we would like to obtain a Class A design qualification. Will the review team take into account the operation status of our current Class D qualification? What is generally involved? Only the trial design drawings and relevant materials for Class A evidence collection designs will be reviewed. Additionally, the design supervisor with a D-level rating, who was previously registered with the provincial quality supervision bureau, is not the same person as the one who wants to obtain an A-level rating; must they be the same? Is it necessary to go to the provincial quality supervision bureau in advance to change the design supervisor from D-level to A-level?
1. At first glance, it seems like this is an additional item, but in fact, according to the permission rules, it’s equivalent to a new one. . You chose the more advanced one. From now on, you won’t need to renew your D-level certificate. 2. This quality assurance system is designed for your organization. . It’s not targeted at any specific level of yours. . The permit rules specify the technical director of the design unit. . Not the person in charge of the design project. So, your responsible person needs to be consistent.
1. Whether to inspect D-grade products or not: According to the expert group’s opinion, there is no clear stipulation; it is reasonable to conduct inspections as well as to refrain from doing so. 2. It should be the technical supervisor, and there can only be one such person in a company. A new technical supervisor is appointed in order to obtain Certificate A; if the technical supervisor at level D is not replaced, it means that the design certificate at level D becomes invalid, and no design drawings can be created during this period. My personal understanding!
Since your organization has just obtained the certification, historical records are generally not subject to random inspections. There should be one person in charge of the design unit, and it must be consistent. No change is needed; it will be fine once the new certificate is issued
Just say it’s new evidence obtained; it’s fine that there was no evidence before, right?
What you're referring to is an upgraded verification process; they usually examine your quality assurance system as well as your previous operational performance. Generally, they only look at your preliminary design drawings for the purpose of conducting a review. There will also be tests for you to take. Those with Category A certification do not need to take an exam. 2. A company should have only one legal design supervisor. Once the new certificate is issued, your company can issue the next appointment letter.
For Class D and Class A design qualifications, generally only the trial design drawings of the designs for which Class A certification is sought, along with the relevant supporting documents, are reviewed. Also, the requirements for the person in charge of design at the original D-level are different from those for the person who now wants to obtain A-level qualifications.
