Pressure vessel product safety and quality supervision and inspection regulations and gas cylinder product safety and quality supervision and inspection regulations
1. Overview
Pressure vessels are known as the “third largest killer” in factories, next to electric power and machinery. Accidents caused by improper operation and lack of maintenance of pressure vessels have seriously affected human health and safety. In order to ensure safe and reliable operation of pressure vessels, it is necessary to supervise and inspect them regularly.
This article introduces the pressure vessel product safety and quality supervision and inspection regulations and gas cylinder product safety and quality supervision and inspection regulations (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”). The Regulations set out detailed rules for the safety supervision and inspection of pressure vessel products and gas cylinder products.
2. Legal situation
The Regulations are formulated by the State Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection of Pressure Vessels in accordance with the Regulations on Quality Supervision and Inspection, Regulations on Safety Supervision of Pressure Vessels, and Regulations on Manufacturing Processes of Pressure Vessels, and are applicable to the safety and quality supervision and inspection of domestic and imported pressure vessel products and gas cylinder products.
The Regulations are designed to improve the quality and safety management of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products, enhance the safety performance of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products, and promote the safe and reliable operation of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products.
3. Product scope
The scope of application of the Regulations includes high-pressure equipment, pressure piping and accessories, pressure tanks, compressed gas cylinders, and pressure vessels made of steel, non-ferrous metal, rubber and other materials.
4. Inspection conditions
Pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must meet the applicable national standards, and the structure and material of the products must be designed, manufactured and inspected in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as industrial standards.
Pressure vessel and gas cylinder products should be regularly supervised and inspected by qualified persons according to the law. In addition, pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must pass safety performance tests before they can be used.
5. Technical Requirements
Pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must meet the applicable national standards and industrial standards. The technical requirements for pressure vessel and gas cylinder products include design, manufacture, inspection, material selection, performance evaluation and other aspects.
Design: Pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must be designed and manufactured in accordance with the applicable national standards and industry standards, and all materials used must be certified.
Manufacture: All pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must be manufactured in accordance with the applicable national standards and industry standards, and all manufacturing processes must be strictly controlled.
Inspection: Pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must be inspected strictly according to the applicable national and industry standards, and the non-destructive testing method should be adopted to ensure no hidden defects.
Material selection: Pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must use materials that meet the applicable national and industrial standards. The quality of the materials must be inspected before being put into use.
Performance evaluation: Pressure vessel and gas cylinder products must be evaluated in accordance with the applicable national and industrial standards, and the temperature test, pressure test, and hydraulic test should be adopted to ensure the quality of the products.
6. Supervision and inspection system
The supervision and inspection of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products should be carried out in accordance with the following principles:
(1) Supervision and inspection shall follow the standardization of procedures, full record keeping, and one-time acceptance.
(2) The supervision and inspection of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products shall be carried out in accordance with unified criteria and standards.
(3) Supervision and inspection must be conducted by qualified personnel in accordance with the applicable national and industry standards.
(4) Supervision and inspection of products should be comprehensive, no details should be overlooked, and the inspection results must be recorded.
7. Punishment system
If pressure vessel and gas cylinder products fail to meet the requirements of the applicable national and industrial standards, the responsible party should be punished according to the relevant laws and regulations.
The punishment system will be enforced strictly. If any manufacturer of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products fails to abide by the applicable national and industry standards and is found to be in violation of the Regulations, the responsible party will incur fines, production prohibition and other punitive measures.
8. Conclusion
The Regulations are a comprehensive and complete set of rules for the safety supervision and inspection of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products. The Regulations will help to ensure the safe and reliable operation of pressure vessel and gas cylinder products, and promote the healthy and safe development of the industry.
