Introduction

Background of Rule Revision and Technological Evolution

The 2016 version of the rules is a systematic upgrade based on the 2008 version. The main technological breakthroughs are reflected in:

Version Comparison Dimensions TSG Q7015-2008 TSG Q7015-2016
Safety Monitoring System No requirements New Mandatory Installation Requirements for Large Lifting Machinery (Annex B)
Inspection Period Uniform 2 Years Differentiation setting (2 years for bridge cranes/1 year for mobile cranes)
Inspection items 7 categories Expanded to 13 categories, with new special requirements for simple lifts

Analysis of core inspection requirements

1. New regulations on inspection cycle

Article 4 clarifies the classification inspection cycle:

  • Equipment subject to annual inspection: tower cranes, lifts, mobile cranes and cranes for lifting molten metal
  • Equipment subject to two-year inspection: conventional equipment such as general-purpose bridge cranes and gantry cranes

2. Mandatory requirements for safety monitoring systems

Article 9 on Requirements for equipment such as bridge cranes over 200t:

Case: A shipyard gantry crane monitoring system must include:

  1. Real-time display of 11 parameters such as lifting weight and amplitude
  2. Fault self-diagnosis function
  3. Data storage ≥ 30 working days

Implementation points and common problems

Inspection preparation materials list

Inspection type Required documents
Regular inspection Maintenance record, last inspection report, use registration certificate
Initial inspection Five additional technical documents such as product design documents and type test certificates are required

Handling of typical non-conforming items

Article 15 stipulates the rectification process:

  1. Inspection opinion notice (2) specifies the rectification items
  2. The user completes the rectification within the agreed period
  3. Original inspection agency conducts on-site re-inspection

Key points for special equipment inspection

Crane for lifting molten metal

Special requirements of Clause C5.1.2:

  • The main lifting mechanism must be equipped with a dual braking system
  • The wire rope must comply with GB 8918 standard
  • The motor must be insulated with Class H

Mechanical parking equipment

C5.28 stipulates 16 safety protection devices:

Typical case: Lifting and lateral movement equipment must be equipped with:

  • Anti-fall device
  • Person and vehicle mistaken entry detection device
  • Car loading plate tilt detection device
