The Boiler Inspection Program provides initial and periodic inspections of boilers of all sizes, types and pressures. Originated in 1953, The Boiler Inspection Program is responsible for the inspection and safe repair of boilers installed in public and commercial locations. Technical advice and engineering assistance is provided to installers, repair firms, operators and owner/users.
Nominal fees are collected to fund the inspection activity. Coordination of inspections with insurance companies allow qualified insurance company "special inspectors" to participate in making required inspections and prevent duplication of services.
As of October 31, 2011, there are 9,349 active boilers subject to regular inspection. These include 6,465 hot water heat boilers, 1,584 hot water supply boilers, 925 steam heating boilers, 328 power and process boilers, and 47 hobby boilers. Included in the steam heating boiler count are 238 oil drilling rig boilers.
