In order to strengthen the supervision of special equipment certification units and authorized units, urge them to continue to meet the licensing or authorization conditions, and strengthen the gatekeeping role of appraisal and evaluation, the Special Equipment Bureau of AQSIQ organized supervision and spot checks on 143 certified production units, inspection and testing institutions, boiler energy efficiency testing institutions, and appraisal and evaluation institutions in 2014. The agency dealt with it.
Among the random inspection units, there are 9 boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing units and 10 respectively. Special product manufacturing units, small-scale manufacturing units and related design units such as small boilers and mobile pressure vessels were mainly selected. The existing problems were reported in terms of resource conditions, the establishment and implementation of the quality assurance system and the quality of the product; Among them, there are requirements in terms of resource conditions that cannot fully and continuously maintain the requirements stipulated in the safety technical specifications, and the change procedures are not performed after the relocation; The safety protection measures for material management and pressure test sites are not in place. In the establishment and implementation of the quality assurance system, there are insufficient implementation of quality system elements, such as improper management of data preservation, loss or failure to save witnesses, failure to revise system documents in a timely manner, and failure to modify relevant requirements in accordance with new standards; Lack of quality target assessment methods, no annual internal audit plan or no organization of internal audit, no product plan, etc. In terms of product quality, there are situations where the design documents or actual products do not meet the requirements of relevant safety technical specifications and standards, fail to meet the requirements of the "Mobile Pressure Vessel Safety Technical Supervision Regulations" to apply for media review, and the quality of X-ray negatives does not meet the requirements. In the circular, the nine boiler and pressure vessel units were criticized in the circular, and the provincial quality and technical supervision department was required to list the above units as key supervision objects and increase the intensity of spot checks.
Units engaged in boiler and pressure vessel design and manufacturing should strengthen the study of the notification, conduct self-examination against the problem and draw inferences from one example, constantly improve their own management, improve product design and manufacturing quality, and contribute to improving the safety and quality of China's special equipment.
