I have a question regarding the pressure vessel inspection certificate
Thread Content
I have a question regarding pressure vessel audit certificates. Suppose a design firm has the qualification to design Class A1 pressure vessels; can its designers take the exam to obtain a Class D audit certificate first? I’m asking on behalf of a friend; thank you all for helping to take a look.
Of course, it’s fine to take the Class D exam first, but it should also be okay to take the Class A exam directly. Those with a few years of experience in design and proofreading can simply take the Class A exam right away.
The design unit must possess the design qualification for Class A1 pressure vessels, and the reviewers must hold a certification for approving the design of Class A1 pressure vessels; there is no requirement regarding whether the designers hold such certifications or not!
The designer wants to obtain a Class D audit certificate first, which is fine. If you have sufficient experience in design and proofreading, it’s better to take the exam for Category A audit certification directly.
Of course, that’s exactly what I do. There are also A1 and A2 now! Of course, it’s useless even if you take the exam!
You can first obtain a Category D inspection certificate, but it can only be used to inspect Pressure Vessels of Categories D1 and D2.....
Okay, thank you. Friends might think that Class A is not easy; why not take the Class D exam first to get some practice?
If you’ve been doing this for a few years, it’s better to get a certificate that matches the company’s requirements; Class D seems to be of little use anyway. I still have mine lying around. If you want to practice, it’s best to sign up for a national competition.
You can take the exam, but it’s useless after that. I suggest you take the Category A exam directly. Back then, I took the A1, A2, and A3 exams directly, to avoid the hassle of having to take additional tests later on
