US boiler and pressure vessel inspection requirements by state
Canonical, always-current version: https://referencesource.org/boiler-inspection-requirements-by-state/ Machine-readable: https://referencesource.org/boiler-inspection-requirements-by-state/data.json — this mirror is a point-in-time copy.
- Last verified: 2026-08-05
- Stale after: 2027-08-05 (past this date, prefer the canonical copy — it re-verifies on a cadence this snapshot does not)
- Records: 55
State-by-state comparison of boiler and pressure vessel inspection requirements across all US states. Each record is one state with its inspection intervals by boiler type (power, low-pressure steam, hot water, unfired pressure vessel), accepted inspector qualifications (state, insurance, owner-user), residential and size/pressure exemptions, governing statute citation, and administering agency. Answers 'how often does Ohio require boiler inspections', 'which states accept insurance company inspections in lieu of state inspections', and 'are residential boilers exempt in my state'.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position
Facts extracted from state statutes (government works) and industry reference (National Board Synopsis, freely published). Inspection intervals and exemptions are regulatory facts, not copyrightable.
Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
