What are the regulations regarding the number of toxic gas detection alarms in use on-site that must be sent for inspection when their expiration date arrives?
There is no specific quantity; one is inspected at a time.
We have an annual inspection, with full testing on-site.
Hello, thank you for your reply. What I mean is that if a production facility has 10 toxic gas detection alarms whose calibration deadline falls at the same time, it’s not possible to take all of them for calibration at once; some of them must remain on site. If all of them are taken away for calibration at once, there will be no alarms left on site, which could pose a risk to safe production. So, what proportion of the total amount is appropriate to take and send for testing at one time? Are there any regulatory requirements? (As specified in GB50444-2008 5.1.2: The number of fire extinguishers sent for repair each time shall not exceed 1/4 of the total number of fire extinguishers designated for the calculation unit.) ）
All inspections are carried out on-site, but they can be done in batches
That’s a good question; indeed, it needs to be sent in batches – sending it all at once won’t work~
If the quantity is large, on-site inspection can be carried out; it only takes a few minutes to inspect one item
All need to be inspected once a year
According to the regulations, inspections are of course carried out in batches; I don’t know exactly how many times this is done. But in practice, it’s not possible to operate this way – either the inspection is done on-site or everything is sent for inspection at once
