				  provisions of the following administrative procedures and rules:
a) A Certificate of Authorization will be
				issued expiring on the triennial anniversary date. The certificate shall
				indicate authorization to repair either Section I or Section VIII valves or
				both, as verified by testing and as covered by the repair organization's
				Quality Control System Manual. The Certificate will be signed by the Chief

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) When a safety or
				safety relief valve is repaired, a metal repair nameplate stamped with the
				information required by subsection (b) shall be attached and sealed by wire and
				lead or metal seal stamped to the valve either above, adjacent to or below the
				original stamping. See Section
				120.1250(b)
				for exception.

				out but left legible. The new capacity shall be based on that for which the
				valve was originally certified.
c)
				Illegible or Missing Nameplates
1) When the
				information on the original manufacturer's or assembler's nameplate or stamping
				is illegible, the nameplate or stamping shall be augmented or replaced by a
				nameplate stamped "duplicate" that contains all information that originally
				appeared on the nameplate or valve, as required by the applicable Section of
				the ASME Code, except the "V" or "UV" symbol and the National Board mark. The
				repair organization's nameplate and other required data specified in subsection

				for the information on the duplicate nameplate being correct.
2) When the original valve nameplate is
				missing, the repair organization is not authorized to perform repairs to the
				valve under the program unless positive identification can be made to that
				specific valve and verification that the valve was originally stamped with a
				"V" or "UV" stamp. Valves that can be positively identified shall be equipped

				repaired by the owner for the owner's own use and not for resale, valves for
				steam service may be tested on air or nitrogen for set pressure and, if
				possible, blowdown adjustment, provided manufacturer's corrections for
				differential in set pressure between steam and testing medium are applied to
				the set pressure.
c) A hydraulic or
				pneumatic device may be used to apply an auxiliary lifting load on the spring
				of a repaired valve which has been installed on a boiler or pressure vessel to
				establish the set pressure of the valve in lieu of the tests required in
				subsection (a) and (b) above, provided calibrated testing equipment and testing
				procedures are followed. In such cases, the manufacturer's recommendations
				shall be used to establish blowdown.
