EMC CENTRE developed a convenient visual method for determining the specific requirements for the certification of equipment by the TR CU 032/2013
The requirements for equipment (certification, declaration, the lack of requirements) have a graphical visualization depending on the type and characteristics of the equipment.
Instructions for using the methodology.
1. Open the diagram corresponds to the type of your equipment and a working environment (gases or liquids, Group 1 or Group 2).
Group 1 includes a working environment consisting of flammable, oxidizing, combustible, explosive, toxic and highly toxic gases, liquids and vapors in a single-phase state, as well as mixtures thereof.
Group 2 includes all other working environments which are not assigned to Group 1.
- Categories of vessels intended for gases used for working environments of Group 1 chart1
- Categories of vessels intended for gases used for working environments of Group 2 chart2
- Categories of vessels intended for liquids, used for working environments of Group 1 chart3
- Categories of vessels intended for liquids, used for working environments of Group 2 chart4
- Categories of steam, hot water boilers and vessels with fire heating chart5
- Categories of pipelines intended for gases, used for working environments of Group 1 chart6
- Categories of pipelines intended for gases, used for working environments of Group 2 chart7
- Categories of pipelines intended for liquids, used for working environments of Group 1 chart8
- Categories of pipelines intended for liquids, used for working environments of Group 2 chart9
2. Place the area specified characteristics of the equipment (operating pressure, diameter / volume) on the chart.
- Equipment has to be declared if characteristics area falls within the zone of Category 1 or 2.
- Equipment with the range of characteristics corresponding to Categories 3 and 4 requires a mandatory certification.
- If the range of characteristics of the equipment is out of any categories zones on the chart, the procedures for certification or declaration is not required.
