NAC455C.170. Procedure upon determination of unsafe condition.

If, as the result of an inspection, the inspector or special inspector determines that the continued operation of a boiler or pressure vessel constitutes an unsafe condition, the inspector or special inspector:

     1. Shall immediately notify the owner of the boiler or pressure vessel in writing, stating the repairs or other corrective measures that are required to be made. Unless the owner or his or her agent makes the repairs or institutes other corrective measures promptly, the inspector or special inspector shall immediately notify the Enforcement Section. Until the corrections have been made, the boiler or pressure vessel involved must not be operated and the operating permit shall be deemed to be revoked by the Enforcement Section.

     2. May require an internal inspection or a pressure test, or both, to evaluate the condition of the boiler or pressure vessel. The owner of the boiler or pressure vessel or his or her agent shall prepare the boiler or pressure vessel for the internal inspection or pressure test.
