Supervision responsibility – part three
Duties and responsibilities of the engineering system (map control unit)
In the discussion of the duties and responsibilities of the engineering system organization, one of the things that has been neglected and paid less attention to is the discussion of the duties and responsibilities of the organization (map control group).
Now, according to the relevant laws in this regard, we need to examine this issue.
According to Clause 5 of Article 15 of the Building Engineering and Control System Law, the main duties and powers of the board of directors are as follows:
5- Monitoring the proper performance of engineering services by natural and legal persons in non-governmental projects and activities in the province and prosecuting violators through competent legal authorities.
It is also stated in paragraph 4-4 of the second topic of the National Building Regulations:
The provincial organization is obliged to supervise the good performance of the services of the building design engineering offices and the legal designers of the building, but this supervision does not reduce the responsibility of the designers.
The organization of the province controls the documents and construction plans, and if any deficiency or defect is observed that is contrary to the national building regulations and urban planning regulations, it will be reflected to them in order to eliminate the deficiency or defects or mistakes.
((The provincial organization is obliged to inform the designer in writing of the desired items and changes.))
In the following, in paragraph 4-5 of the second topic of the National Building Regulations, it says:
The provincial organization and other design control authorities will use persons who are not beneficiaries in the design engineering office or the legal designer of the same design in the control of plans and technical documents.
In addition, the base of the person controlling the design (original code) must be equal to or higher than the base of the real designer who prepared the design.
Also documented in the sixth chapter of the second paragraph of the national regulations (issuance of technical birth certificate) which says:
6-1-19, the building designer prepares architectural plans, structures and facilities and completes and approves the tables of the building information book.
(And provides a complete set of prepared plans to the organization of that province to control the national building regulations.)
7-1-19 The provincial organization, while reviewing the submitted documents, checked the related maps according to the national building regulations and urban planning rules, and if there is no problem with the infrastructure of the building or the complex or the building complex, in the section related to the building design in the notebook. The information of the building is recorded.
8-1-19 In case the submitted plans have defects, the provincial organization will notify the designer in writing and officially, and the designer will correct and send it to the provincial organization.
In any case, the period of review of the plans and its approval by the provincial organization should not exceed one month.
In addition, according to paragraph 4-1-5-5 of the fourth topic of the National Building Regulations, we have:
5-5-1-4 After the approval of the plans and other technical specifications and the issuance of the building permit by the municipality or other licensing authorities, if there is a need for changes in the plans and technical specifications for any reason, before any action, according to The procedure of the second topic of the national building regulations, the changes in question have been approved by the responsible legal entity (engineering system organization) and a new building permit is issued.
(Conclusion)
Considering the above-mentioned cases, it is clear that in the event of an accident due to a weakness in the design, and considering that the person or persons controlling their plan of action is influential in carrying out the operation, and they have the cause of the accident, according to Article 506 of the Penal Law Islamic (discussion of participation in suspected intentional crime) Engineering system organization (map control unit) have a heavy responsibility for controlling and monitoring maps, and they must be accountable for their performance according to the assigned task.
