Chapter 1 General Regulations
Article 1 This Regulation is formulated to strengthen the supervision and administration of boiler installation and alteration, standardize the license for boiler installation and alteration and ensure boiler installation and alteration quality and the safe operation of boiler according to those specified in "Special Equipment Safety Supervision Regulations" (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations").
Article 2 The enterprises that are engaged in the installation and alteration of boiler within the specified range of "Regulations" and pipeline within the boiler range must obtain the "Installation, Alteration, Repair and Maintenance License of Special Equipment" (hereinafter referred to as license) issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as "AQSIQ") and may only be engaged in the boiler installation and alteration within the license range. The boiler-manufacturing enterprises having obtained the boiler-manufacturing license may alter the boilers manufactured by themselves and install the packaged (assembled) delivery boilers manufactured by themselves, and do not need to take other license.
Quality and technical supervision departments in the province, autonomous region or municipality where the boiler installation and alteration enterprises are located shall be responsible for the acceptance, examination and approval for the license of boiler installation and alteration.
Note: Packaged (assembled) delivery boilers refer to those that the pressure parts of the boiler proper have been subjected to assembling and welding in the manufacturer and such operation will thus be not carried out in the installation site.
Article 3 All-level quality and technical supervision departments shall be responsible for supervising the implementation of this Regulation.
