The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) is soliciting public opinions on the " Safety Technical Regulations of Safety Accessories (Draft for Comments)" from October 7 to November 10, 2023.

This document is based on the original "Safety Valve Safety Technical Inspection Regulations" (TSG ZF001-2006), "Explosive Device Safety Technical Inspection Regulations" (TSG ZF003-2011), "Gas Cylinder Accessory Safety Technical Inspection Regulations (TSG RF001-2009), " "Pressure Pipeline Component Type Test Rules (TSG D7002-2006) ". It aims to integrate and unify their safety requirements for safety valves, explosive device units, emergency shutdown valves, and gas cylinder valves to formulate comprehensive safety technical regulations for safety accessories. The new regulation will cover safety accessories used on boilers, pressure vessels, and pressure pipelines defined in the "Catalog of Special Equipment," including safety valves, explosive device units, emergency shutdown valves, and gas cylinder valves.

This document specifies the minimum safety requirements for the material, design and manufacturing, type testing, selection and installation, and use management of safety accessories. In the appendix, it provides harmonized standards (basic national standards such as material standards, product structure standards, component standards, test method standards, etc.) that can help enterprises meet the basic safety requirements of this regulation. When manufacturing safety accessory products using non-harmonized standards, the manufacturer should provide a comparative table showing how the standards they follow comply with the safety requirements of this regulation and harmonized standards.

For enterprise using new materials, new technologies, new processes that are inconsistent with the requirements of this regulation, or for their product this regulation does not specify requirements but may significantly impact safety performance, the enterprise should report to SAMR for technical review. SAMR will entrust the Special Equipment Safety and Energy Technology Committee to conduct the technical review. Only with SAMR's approval of the review results can these products be put into production and use.
