Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Where a conflict exists between the requirements of the
				standards listed below and this chapter, this chapter shall prevail. The duties
				of the in-service inspector do not include the installation's compliance with
				other standards and requirements (environmental, construction, electrical,
				undefined industrial standards, etc.), for which other regulatory agencies have
				authority and responsibility to oversee.
(1) The standard for inspection of nonnuclear
			 boilers and unfired pressure vessels is the National Board Inspection Code
			 (NBIC), current edition Part 2, excluding Section 6, Supplements 1, 5, 6, and 7
			 which may be used as nonmandatory guidelines.
(2) The standard for installation, in-service
			 inspection, and repair of pressure relief devices is the National Board
			 Inspection Code (NBIC), current edition Part 4, excluding Section 6, Supplement
			 1 which may be used as nonmandatory guidelines.
(3) The standard for inspection of historical
			 steam boilers of riveted construction preserved, restored, or maintained for
			 hobby or demonstration use, shall be Part 2, Section 6, Supplement 2 of the
			 National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) current edition.
(4) The standard for inspection of nuclear
			 items is ASME section XI. The applicable ASME Code edition and addenda shall be
			 as specified in the owner in-service inspection program plan.
(5) Where a petroleum or chemical process
			 industry owner/user inspection agency so chooses, the standard for inspection
			 of unfired pressure vessels used by the owner shall be the API-510 Pressure
			 Vessel Inspection Code, current edition. This code may be used on or after the
			 date of issue.
(6) TAPPI TIP
			 0402-16, revised 2011 may be used for both pulp dryers and paper machine dryers
			 when requested by the owner. When requested by the owner, this document becomes
			 a requirement and not a guideline.
