NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Statutory Changes:  The following changes to Iowa's boiler law are effective immediately: 

1)  The inspection schedule for low pressure steam boilers now matches the inspection schedule for unfired steam pressure vessels with more than 15 psi.  Each of these objects must be inspected internally one calendar year and externally the next calendar year.  At least 6 months must pass between the inspections of an object.

2)  Boilers that have a capacity of less than 6 gallons and are part of an espresso or cappuccino machine are exempt from requirements of the code.

3)  Many boilers that are part of cleaning machines are exempt from requirements of the code.

4)  The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Board has new rulemaking authority relating to utility boilers.
