Static and mobile pressure vessels

 Static and mobile pressure vessels are vessels that store gases or liquids at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. The Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016, govern the design, fabrication, and use of these vessels. Some of the topics covered by these rules include: 

Design and fabrication

Codes for pressure vessels, cryogenic pressure vessels, and safety relief valves 

Testing and examination

Procedures for periodic testing of pressure vessels, safety relief valves, and other safety fittings 

Markings

Requirements for markings on pressure vessels, including the manufacturer's name, design pressure, and date of the initial hydrostatic test 

Periodic testing

Requirements for periodic testing of pressure vessels in service, including precautions to be observed 

The rules also define a "competent person" as someone who is recognized by the Chief Controller to perform tests, examinations, and certifications
