Special equipment refers to boilers, pressure vessels (including gas cylinders, the same below), pressure pipes, elevators, lifting machinery, passenger ropeways, large amusement facilities and special motor vehicles in the field (factory) which are related to life safety and great danger. Among them, boilers, pressure vessels (including gas cylinders) and pressure pipelines belong to pressure-bearing special equipment; Elevator, hoisting machinery, passenger ropeway and large amusement facilities belong to electromechanical special equipment. 20 13 on June 29th, the 12th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) passed the Law of the People's Republic of China on Special Equipment Safety? [ 1]? . 20 14 1 1, AQSIQ announced the newly revised catalogue of special equipment.
However, there are still many problems in China's special equipment inspection and testing institutions. For example, the allocation of inspection resources is ineffective, the scale of inspection institutions is small, and the ability to resist risks is weak; Infrastructure needs to be improved urgently, technical equipment is insufficient, testing instruments are outdated, and high-tech testing equipment and technology are lacking; The personnel structure of inspection institutions is unreasonable, lacking high-quality management and technical personnel; Inspection institutions have not really established self-restraint, incentive and development mechanisms. Therefore, in the future, China needs to further actively and steadily promote the reform and innovation of inspection institutions, and promote the inspection institutions to take the road of joint reorganization and large-scale development by adjusting the examination and approval conditions of special equipment inspection institutions. In addition, with the increasingly mature application of nondestructive testing technology in special equipment testing, more and more third-party nondestructive testing institutions have entered the field of special equipment testing, and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce.
