Introduction and Objectives EEMUA Publication 1931is a recommended practice for Inspection Bodies (IBs) operating in the process, energy and related industries, whose prima

44、ry responsibility is for pressure equipment. This is the revised Second Edition which incorporates changes in practice and legislation since first publication in 1998 as EEMUA Recommendations for the Training, Development, and Competency Assessment of Inspection Personnel. It presents a structured t

45、raining, development and competency assessment process for inspection personnel. EEMUA developed this Publication in response to: The increasing emphasis on the competency of individuals, for example during assessment of IBs under the accreditation process and also the general requirement to ensure

46、competency as a part of safety management. The development of API certification schemes for inspectors. A changing relationship between IBs and inspection contractors. 1.1 Scope Demonstration of the competence both of IBs and the individuals directly or indirectly employed in them is important in en

47、suring adherence to legislation and its supporting standards, especially in the EU. The criteria for IBs are already defined, for example in the International standard ISO/IEC 17020(39)and by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). UKAS accredits IBs to the Standard ISO 17020. The structure

48、 of this EEMUA Publication is such that it respects the requirements of UKAS RG0(2). This EEMUA Publication is limited to in-service inspection of industrial pressure equipment which is taken to mean all inspections excluding new build and commissioning. The types of equipment covered (see Appendix

49、D Country Specific Legislation) includes all equipment covered by: PSSR; pressure equipment subject to the COMAH Regulations; Pipeline Regulations; PFEER (offshore); transportable pressure equipment; and above ground tanks metal and plastic. It excludes: subsea equipment; new equipment subject to the PER; and below ground/buried tanks. EEMUA Publication 193 is designed to be an authoritative statement of competency criteria for inspection personnel. 1Contains public sector informat
