Chapter 131: BOARD OF BOILERS AND PRESSURE VESSELS HEADING: PL 1995, C. 560, PT. H, §14 (NEW); 1999, C. 386, PT. W, §2 (RPR)
§15120. Authorized inspectors; duties
The board shall, upon the request of any company authorized to insure against loss from explosion of boilers or pressure vessels in this State, issue to the boiler inspectors of the company certificates of authority as authorized inspectors. Each inspector before receiving a certificate of authority must hold a certificate as an inspector of steam boilers for a state that has a standard of examination equal to that of this State or a certificate from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, or its successor or other organization approved by the board. Authorized inspectors are not entitled to receive a salary from, nor may any of their expenses be paid by, the State. The continuance of an authorized inspector's certificate is conditioned upon the authorized inspector continuing in the employ of a boiler inspection and insurance company duly authorized and upon maintenance of the standards imposed by this chapter. Authorized inspectors shall inspect all boilers and pressure vessels insured by their respective companies, and the owners or users of those insured boilers are exempt from the payment of the fees provided for in section 15118. Authorized inspectors may, with the permission of the chief inspector, also inspect boilers or pressure vessels for which an application for insurance against loss from explosion of boilers or pressure vessels has been made or when a new boiler or pressure vessel is installed at an insured location and the prospective insured owner or user is exempt from the payment of fees provided for in section 15118. Each company employing authorized inspectors shall, within 30 days following each certificate inspection made by the inspectors, file a report of the inspection with the chief inspector.
