Who this service is for
Designers, manufacturers, authorized representatives and applicants in machinery and equipment conformity assessment; operators following modifications or on other specified grounds.
When it is required
Machinery covered by TR CU 010/2011 is subject to its risk analysis and safety justification requirements. Following the 2021 amendments, TR CU 032/2013 uses a package of documents substantiating safety; a separate universal document called a safety justification is not required for every vessel. For certain boilers, vessels and pipelines, strength calculations and the requirements of the standards applied form the basis of this evidence.
What to prepare
- Intended use, limits of use, operating modes and all life-cycle stages.
- Design documentation, calculations, control and protection diagrams, and operating documents.
- List of standards, test reports and any available reliability assessment.
- Information on personnel, hazards, failures, accident scenarios and residual risks.
How we work
- Identify the applicable regulation and required form of evidence.
- Establish equipment limits and identify hazards.
- Assess risks and the adequacy of protective measures.
- Link the conclusions to calculations, tests and instructions.
- Agree on the package with the responsible designer or manufacturer and deliver it for its intended use.
What you receive
A safety justification or a structured package of supporting evidence, depending on the applicable requirements.
What to keep in mind
The document does not replace strength calculations, testing or certification. Safety cannot be substantiated using a template without design information. Equipment safety justification is distinct from hazardous-facility safety justification under other national regimes.
Price and timing
Price and timing depend on the number of items, available documentation and the need for calculations, site visits and testing. After an initial review, we agree on the scope, cost and schedule. Free government services are distinguished from preparation and support charges.
Questions about this service
Does pressure equipment always need a separate safety justification document?
No. TR CU 032/2013 defines a package of documents substantiating safety. Its content depends on the equipment and standards applied; a strength calculation may be a key part of the evidence.
Do technical specifications replace a certificate or declaration of conformity?
No. Technical specifications define requirements, while conformity assessment follows separate applicable procedures.
