1 Organization of technical supervision over the safe operation of boiler supervision facilities

1.1. Regulation of issues of ensuring the safe operation of boiler supervision facilities

State regulatory regulation of industrial safety issues on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as special permitting, supervisory and control functions, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 18, 1993, No. 234, are assigned to the Federal Mining and Industrial Supervision of Russia (Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia).

Along with other functions, Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia carries out state regulation and supervision in the field of design, manufacture, installation, repair and safe operation of steam and hot water boilers, pressure vessels, pipelines for steam and hot water - boiler supervision facilities, and also monitors compliance with the requirements for safety of the specified equipment at all stages of its life cycle.

In the field of boiler supervision, the Gosgortekhnadzor bodies of Russia supervise steam boilers, steam pipelines and vessels operating at a pressure of more than 0.07 MPa (0.7 kgf / cm), hot water boilers and hot water pipelines with a heating temperature of more than 115 ° C.

High pressures and temperatures, corrosive and erosive effects of the working medium on the walls of the equipment, as well as the use of explosive and fire hazardous substances harmful to human health in technological processes determine the increased requirements for ensuring the operational reliability of boiler supervision facilities. Long-term safe operation of the equipment is achieved by fulfilling a set of requirements during its manufacture and operation, which are regulated by the "Rules for the Design and Safe Operation of Steam and Hot Water Boilers", approved by the Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia on May 28, 1993, "Rules for the Design and Safe Operation of Electrode Boilers and Electric Boilers", approved Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia 06/23/1992, "Rules for the Design and Safe Operation of Pressure Vessels", approved by the Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia on 04/18/1995, "Rules for the Design and Safe Operation of Steam and Hot Water Pipelines", approved by the Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia on 07/18/1994 . . These rules are mandatory for all ministries, departments, enterprises, organizations (regardless of ownership) and citizens. The provisions of these rules are specified in regulatory and technical documents (NTD), which, in order to ensure the unity of requirements, are approved or agreed upon by the Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia.

Regulatory documents define the conditions for high-quality manufacturing, installation or repair of boiler supervision facilities, as well as to ensure their safe operation. The equipment manufacturer or its owner has the right to choose the most effective, based on their capabilities, way of implementing these conditions. At the same time, the industrial safety regulation system provides for granting the right to perform work that determines the safe functioning of boiler supervision facilities only to those enterprises or organizations whose organizational and technical readiness complies with safety rules. Gosgortekhnadzor of Russia regulates supervisory activities through a licensing system. The procedure for issuing licenses for activities related to ensuring safety during the operation of boiler supervision facilities is regulated by RD 10-49-93.

According to RD 10-49-93, licensing is subject to the following types activities.
