A. 1. Each authorized inspection agency employing special inspectors meeting the requirements of subsection A of Section 9 of this act1 shall, within thirty (30) days following each inspection made by such inspectors, file an exact copy of the report of the inspection with the chief boiler inspector upon appropriate forms as promulgated by the Commissioner of Labor; and
2. Each company operating pressure vessels covered by owner-user inspections service meeting the requirements of subsection B of Section 9 of this act shall maintain in its files an inspection record which shall list, by number and such abbreviated description as may be necessary for identification, each pressure vessel covered by this act, the date of the last inspection of each pressure vessel and the approximate date for the next inspection. The inspection record shall be available for examination by the chief inspector or his authorized representative during business hours. Each such company shall, in addition, file annually with the chief inspector a statement, signed by the individual having supervision over the inspections made during the period covered thereby, stating the number of pressure vessels covered by this act inspected during the year and certifying that each such inspection was conducted pursuant to the inspection requirements provided for by this act.
Such annual statement shall be accompanied by a fee equal to that shown in subparagraph c of paragraph 2 of subsection A of Section 16 of this act.2
B. If the report filed pursuant to subsection A of this section shows that a boiler or pressure vessel is found to comply with the rules and regulations of the Commissioner of Labor and upon direct payment to the Department of Labor by the owner or user of the fee prescribed shall issue the owner or user a certificate of operation. The certificate of operation shall be valid for a period consistent with the inspection frequency as required by Section 13 of this act.3 In the case of those boilers and pressure vessels covered by paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 of subsection B of Section 13 of this act for which the Commissioner of Labor has established or extended the operating period between required inspections, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 7 or 8 of subsection B of Section 13 of this act, the certificate of operation shall be valid for a period of not more than two (2) months beyond the period set by the Commissioner. Certificates of operation for boilers shall be posted under glass, or similarly protected, in the room containing the boiler. Pressure vessel certificates of operation shall be posted in like manner, if convenient, or filed where they will be readily accessible for examination by the Commissioner, chief boiler inspector or deputy inspector.
C. The chief boiler inspector or deputy inspectors may at any time suspend a certificate of operation if the boiler or pressure vessel for which it is issued is deemed a menace to the public safety, or when the boiler or pressure vessel is found not to comply with the rules and regulations herein provided. Each suspension of a certificate of operation shall continue in effect until such boiler or pressure vessel shall have been made to conform to the rules and regulations, and until said certificate of operation shall have been reinstated.
