Pressure vessels are containers or systems designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. They can be found in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, power generation, and others. Due to the potential hazards associated with pressure vessels, licensing and regulation are essential to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with established standards.
The Pressure vessel license is a prerequisite for operating pressure vessels which operate above atmospheric pressure. It's a mandatory authorization mandated by regulatory bodies to ensure the safe operation, installation, and maintenance of pressure vessels across various industries.
Procedure to Obtain Pressure Vessel Operating License from DISH in India:
Fill out the prescribed application form (Form No. 8) with accurate details about the pressure vessel, including its type, size, operating pressure, materials, manufacturer, and location.
Gather necessary documents such as design drawings, certified by a professional engineer, illustrating the complete vessel design with material specifications. Obtain an inspection report from a qualified inspector verifying that the vessel construction complies with Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR). Ensure you have the manufacturer's test certificate confirming the vessel's successful passing of required strength and performance tests.
Submit the completed application form along with the supporting documents to the local DISH office or as directed by the regulatory authority.
DISH may conduct an inspection of the pressure vessel at the specified location to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.
Verify that the pressure vessel meets all safety and quality standards outlined by the Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR).
Pay the requisite fees for processing the license application. Fees may vary based on the type and size of the pressure vessel.
Once all requirements are met and the inspection is successful, DISH will review the application and, if compliant, issue the pressure vessel operating license.
