FLIX-209 (iii) Response Historic

Extend steam boiler modification regulations to hazardous material pressure systems

Recommendation

That existing regulations relating to modifications of steam boilers which do not apply to pressure systems containing hazardous materials should be extended so as to apply to such systems. In framing such regulations consideration will no doubt be given to the question whether the inherent nature of the material requires greater control than applies in the case of steam boilers.
