If, upon inspection, a boiler or pressure vessel is found to comply with the
administrative regulations of the department, the owner, user, or insurance company
of it shall pay to the department the sum of fifteen dollars ($15). When the
inspection is made by a special inspector, the inspector shall attach the certificate
fee to his or her report. The chief boiler inspector, or his or her duly authorized
representative, shall issue to the owner or user a certificate of inspection for the
boiler or pressure vessel bearing the date of inspection and specifying the maximum
pressure under which the boiler or pressure vessel may be operated. An inspection
certificate shall be valid for not more than fourteen (14) months from its date in the
case of power boilers, and twenty-six (26) months in the case of low pressure steam
or vapor heating boilers, hot water heating boilers, or hot water supply boilers. The
most recently issued certificate of inspection shall be posted in the room containing
the boiler inspected or, in the case of a portable boiler, shall be kept in a tool box
accompanying the boiler. The most recently issued certificate of inspection for each
pressure vessel shall be kept in the owner's files.
No certificate of inspection issued for an insured boiler, inspected by a special
inspector, shall be valid after the insurance on the boiler for which it was issued
terminates. Boilers shall be insured by a company duly authorized by this state to
carry the insurance.
The commissioner or his or her authorized representative may at any time suspend a
certificate of inspection if, in his or her opinion, the boiler or pressure vessel for
which it was issued cannot be operated without menace to the public safety, or if the
boiler or pressure vessel is found not in compliance with this chapter or the
administrative regulations of the department. A special boiler inspector shall have
corresponding powers with respect to suspending certificates of inspection for
boilers or pressure vessels insured by the company employing him or her. The
suspension of a certificate of inspection shall continue in effect until the boiler or
pressure vessel conforms to this chapter and administrative regulations of the board,
and until the inspection certificate is reinstated.
A suspended certificate of inspection shall be reissued on the recommendation of
the boiler inspector or special boiler inspector who first caused the suspension or at
the discretion of the chief boiler inspector.
