Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the basic safety requirements for personnel engaged in thermal and mechanical operations in power production sites. It applies to all personnel involved in power generation and those entering power production sites. The standard covers a wide range of equipment and operations, including coal handling, fuel (gas) systems, boilers, environmental protection facilities, steam/water turbines, chemical work, hydrogen cooling systems, welding, and lifting operations. It is mandatory for thermal power plants and related facilities in China.
Technical requirements
The standard establishes comprehensive safety protocols for thermal and mechanical work in the power industry. It mandates the use of work tickets for maintenance and repair tasks, detailing the procedures for issuance, execution, and termination of work permits. Personnel must undergo regular safety training and medical examinations to ensure fitness for duty. Key technical requirements include strict isolation procedures for equipment under maintenance, such as disconnecting power sources, closing valves, and venting residual pressure. The standard specifies detailed safety measures for high-risk areas like confined spaces, requiring ventilation, gas monitoring, and the use of safety harnesses. It also outlines requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE), including specific clothing for different hazards like acids, alkalis, and high temperatures. The document provides extensive guidelines for the safe operation and maintenance of specific equipment. This includes coal handling machinery, boiler systems, turbines, and environmental protection equipment like desulfurization and denitrification systems. Strict fire and explosion prevention measures are mandated for fuel oil and hydrogen systems. The standard also covers safe practices for welding, high-altitude work, lifting operations, and earthwork, referencing other relevant GB and DL standards where applicable.
Testing methods
The standard references various testing and inspection methods to ensure equipment safety and integrity. This includes regular inspections and load testing of lifting equipment and tools, such as static and dynamic load tests for cranes and hoists. It also mandates periodic testing of safety belts, electrical tools, and grounding systems. For confined space entry, the standard requires testing for oxygen levels and the presence of hazardous gases like carbon monoxide and flammable vapors before personnel access.
