China Special Equipment Inspection Industry Indepth Research and Trend Prospects Report

According to Regulations on Safety Supervision of Special Equipment, special equipment means 8 kinds of equipment relating to life safety, with high risks, such as boiler, pressure vessel (including gas collector), pressure pipeline, lift, hoisting machinery, passenger aerial ropeway, and special motor vehicles in large-scale recreational facilities parks (playground). Special equipment is not only related to the safety of people's lives and properties, but also relates to the orderly conduct of national economy construction.

According to statistics, as of the end of 2010, there were 6.47.65 special facilities in China. Such a large number of special equipment has been a priority for the work of national Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision. In order to assure the safety operation of special equipment, the State has very strict regulations and rules on manufacturing, using and inspecting these 8 kinds of equipment, and conduct the whole process supervision for them. Special equipment relates to all kinds of links, and they have great meaning.

According to statistics from General Administration of Quality Supervision, and Quarantine of China, as of the end of 2010, there were 516 special equipment inspection agencies, among which there were 331 inspection agencies belonging to quality supervision departments, there were 185 industry inspection agencies and enterprise inspection agencies; moreover, there were 18 type testing institutions, 257 nondestructive testing institutions and 1,694 gas collector inspection institutions. And there were 57,533 employees in inspection institutions. Meanwhile, with the increasing advancement of scientific and technological innovation, the special equipment inspection agencies gained 22 key scientific and technological fruits during the “eleventh five-year” period, two of which gained the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award, dealing with a group of technical difficulties, and vigorously enhance the safety reliability and operational economic characteristic of special equipment.

However, there are still many problems in China special equipment inspection institutions. For example, the allocation of inspection resources is uneven and the inspection institutions are small, with week risk-resistance; it’s urgent to improve the infrastructure, the technical facility is not sufficient, inspection instruments are generally old, and there are seldom high-tech inspection equipment and technology; the structure of staff in inspection institutions is irrational, and it lacks of high quality management talents and technical talents; the inspection institutions can’t really establish a self-discipline, stimulus, and development mechanism. Therefore, China needs to further and steadily promote the reform and innovation of inspection institutions. By adjusting the approval conditions for special inspection agencies, promote the inspection institutions to a road of joint and reorganization, scale-development. In addition, with the increasing mature of the nondestructive testing technologies application in special equipment inspection, and the third party nondestructive testing institutions involving in special equipment inspection filed, the competition becomes fiercer and fiercer.
