Boiler and pressure vessel inspections

Jurisdictional boiler and pressure vessel inspections are inspections to ensure that boiler and pressure vessels are safely operated and maintained. These inspections verify that the boiler and pressure vessels are constructed, installed, and operated in a manner that meets established codes and regulations. Jurisdictional inspections are typically due each year but can be different depending on the requirements of a specific region.

Through TÜV SÜD ARISE (the leader in boiler and pressure vessel inspections in North America), TÜV SÜD is committed to proactive involvement in our clients’ jurisdictional boiler and pressure vessel inspections, with a view to servicing the unbundled insurance market. We also inspect in accordance with the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) and jurisdictional requirements.

When pressure vessels are not properly maintained, there are major consequences. The most severe are boiler explosions and fires that injure workers, destroy property, and even lead to fatalities. Other problems include rupture failures and leakage which pose health and safety hazards. Boiler and pressure vessel inspections are vital to provide a safer and more loss-controlled work environment for industrial equipment.

Other than the obvious need to keep workers and equipment safe, timely inspections will also keep your company within the guidelines of the law. Inspections are required and can be complex and different depending on your specific location. TÜV SÜD as a trusted third-party can help you navigate diverse requirements and keep your equipment safe and compliant.
