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.
