Registration

SELO registration was updated in 2016 to an on-line process (see also online registration), since then registration is only possible via special software. All necessary documents must be digitized and uploaded. Even the mere installation of the software (.exe file) can lead to vast problems.

Once installed, the Chinese authorities have a very powerful tool at their disposal and the software itself is not necessarily considered to be “user-friendly”.

This is well known to us and we can offer appropriate IT solutions.

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.

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.
