Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Inspections

The Iowa Division of Labor regulates boilers and unfired steam pressure vessels according to Iowa Code Chapter 89.  Some hot water heating boilers used for pools or spas are regulated by the Iowa Department of Public Health.

Ten-day notice of new installations must be provided pursuant to Iowa Code Section 89.6.  Click here for a 10-day notice form.  Certain repairs and alterations must be authorized in advance by an authorized inspector.  Covered objects must be inspected by state inspectors or authorized insurance company inspectors.
