Technical Regulation TR CU 032/2013 was adopted to ensure the safety of equipment operating under excessive pressure. This document became an important step in the harmonization of security standards in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, including Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. The main purpose of this regulation is to protect human life and health, as well as to protect the environment from potential risks associated with the operation of such equipment.
,Relevance of TR CU 032/2013
The relevance of TR CU 032/2013 is due to the growing volume of production and use of equipment operating under excessive pressure. With the increase in the scale of industrial production, the risk of accidents also increases, which makes it necessary to implement strict safety standards. Regulation TR CU 032 2013 is designed to minimize these risks by setting requirements for the design, manufacture and operation of equipment.
The main provisions of the document TR CU 032/2013
Document TR CU 032/2013 includes a number of key provisions related to the safety of equipment. In particular, it defines:
- General safety requirements for overpressure equipment;
- Conformity assessment procedures that must be followed by manufacturers and suppliers of equipment;
- Rules for labeling and documentation of equipment.
The list of TR CU 032 includes various types of equipment that are subject to this regulation. It can be both stationary and mobile equipment used in various industries, from energy to the chemical industry.
,Conformity assessment procedures
One of the key aspects of the regulations is the conformity assessment procedure, which ensures that the equipment meets all established safety requirements. Depending on the level of risk associated with the use of a particular type of equipment, different assessment methods may be used.:
- Product Certificate TR TC 032;
- Declaration of Conformity TR CU 032.
These procedures help to ensure high safety standards and reduce the likelihood of accidents.
▎Impact on manufacturers and users
Regulation TR CU 032/2013 imposes certain obligations on both manufacturers and users of equipment. Manufacturers are required to guarantee the safety of their products at all stages — from design to operation. Users must follow the operating instructions and ensure proper working conditions.
