[Title] The equipment code of the special equipment use registration certificate is inconsistent with the equipment code of the equipment qualification certificate

Hello leader! The equipment code on the registration certificate for the use of special equipment that I applied for at the Market Supervision Administration of Caidian District, Wuhan City was automatically generated by the bureau's system, which is inconsistent with the equipment code of the equipment itself. This is different from the filling method stipulated in the TSG 08-201 Special Equipment Use Management Rules. Is this registration certificate reasonable and effective.

[Reply] Hello. The equipment code code on the registration certificate for the use of special equipment shall comply with the relevant provisions of the "Management Rules for the Use of Special Equipment" (TSG 08-2017) and the Notice of the General Office of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the "Management Rules for the Use of Special Equipment" (Quality Supervision Office Special Letter [2017] No. 1015). For situations where the regulations are not followed, it is recommended that you report to the administrative authority or local market supervision and management department responsible for registering the use of special equipment.


[Title] Registration of Special Equipment Use

Hello leader! I am a construction safety management personnel. Today, due to differences in the registration time for the use of special equipment and others, according to Article 33 of the National Special Equipment Safety Law, the unit using special equipment should complete the registration within 30 days before or after the use of special equipment. Does the term "put into use" in this provision refer to the time when special equipment first leaves the factory, rather than the time it was first used on a construction project?

[Reply] Hello. Article 33 of the Special Equipment Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the unit using special equipment shall, within 30 days before or after the special equipment is put into use, register for use with the department responsible for safety supervision and management of special equipment and obtain a certificate of use registration. Therefore, within 30 days after the actual use of special equipment, an application for use registration should be submitted and a certificate of use registration should be obtained.


[Title] Inconsistent device code issue

Hello, leaders of the General Administration!

Regarding the code for special equipment, Article 5 of the Notice of the General Office of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the "Management Rules for the Use of Special Equipment" (Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Office Special Letter [2017] No. 1015) states: "The writing method for special equipment (excluding gas cylinders and pressure pipelines) code is shown in Annex 2. If the writing method specified in relevant safety technical specifications is inconsistent with this notice, the notice shall prevail, and the code writing method is standardized in Annex 2.". However, currently there are two situations encountered during the inspection process:

1. When some registration authorities issue the use registration certificate, the equipment code on the special equipment use registration certificate does not reference the special equipment code generated by the manufacturing unit on the equipment qualification certificate (18 digits). Instead, a random code (20 digits) is automatically generated by the internal system of the registration authority and registered as the "equipment code" on the use registration certificate, which leads to the problem of inconsistency between the equipment code on the manufacturing unit qualification certificate and the equipment code on the use registration certificate, prompting questioning from the using unit and the regulatory department at the place of use.

May I ask if this "equipment code" meets the requirements, is it valid, and is the "equipment code" column on the regular inspection report specified in the new regulation TSG 81-2022 based on the equipment code on the special equipment use registration certificate or the equipment code on the manufacturing unit's certificate of conformity.

2. Equipment produced before the implementation of the TSG 08-2017 Special Equipment Use Management Rules did not generate equipment codes when leaving the factory.

May I ask if the inspection agency can use the registration code on the registration certificate as the equipment code when generating the inspection report.

[Reply] Hello. 1. The equipment code code on the registration certificate for the use of special equipment shall comply with the relevant provisions of the "Management Rules for the Use of Special Equipment" (TSG 08-2017) and the Notice of the General Office of the Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the "Management Rules for the Use of Special Equipment" (Quality Supervision Office Special Letter [2017] No. 1015). For situations where the regulations are not followed, it is recommended that you report to the administrative authority or local market supervision and management department responsible for registering the use of special equipment. 2. Regarding the issue of quoting equipment codes in the factory equipment inspection report before the implementation of the "Management Rules for the Use of Special Equipment" (TSG 08-2017), it is recommended that you consult the administrative authority responsible for registering the use of special equipment in your jurisdiction.
