Boiler inspections

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 December 2008, there are 8,951 active boilers subject to regular inspection. These include 460 high pressure boilers, 696 low pressure boilers, 6,114 hot water heating boilers, 1,579 hot water supply boilers, and 43 antique steam traction engines.
