Procedure

The individual steps of the licensing process are very precisely defined. The first step must be accomplished before being allowed to begin with the next. This can be an extremely costly and time consuming process! Applicants are only considered to be officially registered after successfully completing the SELO registration process.

Audit teams will only be assigned once the SELO invoice has been cleared. The audits are usually performed within the following six months at the latest.

Knowing where you can lose most of your time is also knowing where the most time can be saved! We are experienced in correctly completing online regristrations (see online registration) in the shortest possible time. Furthermore, we know how to prepare everything to successfully accomplish the audit. Nothing can be more annoying and expensive than a re-audit.

Registration

In 2016, SELO registration was updated to an on-line process (see also online application), since then registration is only possible via special software.

License Audit

The main objective of the license audit is to verify that a manufacturer is in a position to manufacture pressure equipment in accordance with the applicable TSG-regulations.

Costs

In most cases there are no recurring costs or fees once the initial license fee has been invoiced. Nevertheless, the initial license fee can be quite considerable!

Project Duration

The official process duration given by the Chinese authorities is a total of eight months.

External Support or Inhouse Solution

We are specialists in our own field. Getting the advice and support from independent, third party experts will definitely prove beneficial.

Manual

China-License will fine-tune the SELO manual on site. This is best combined with a pre-audit.

Document Appraisal

The entire technical documentation is checked for compliance against applicable standards during the so-called Document Appraisal.

Type Testing

Transportable pressure vessels, safety equipment and piping require additional type testing.

Preliminary Work

An immense amount of preliminary work is necessary before the license application process may even begin.

We know your world won't wait.
