Sec. 2.
(a) The owner or user of a boiler or unfired pressure vessel required to be inspected shall prepare the boiler or vessel for the proposed inspection at an agreed upon time established by the inspector and the owner or user.
(b) For internal inspection of boilers and unfired pressure vessels, the inspector shall specify the nature and extent of preparatory work expected to be completed prior to the inspector's arrival, which shall include, but is not limited to, the following, as applicable for the equipment design:
If a boiler or unfired pressure vessel has not been properly prepared for internal inspection, the inspector may decline to perform the inspection and the operating permit will be withheld until the owner or user complies with the requirements.
(c) If the inspection of a boiler or unfired pressure vessel is to be external only, no advance preparation is required other than to provide reasonable means of access to the boiler or unfired pressure vessel where necessary. However, if evidence of a leak or crack in the boiler or unfired pressure vessel is found during an inspection, enough of the covering (e.g., insulation, sheathing, casing, or refractory) of the boiler or unfired pressure vessel shall be removed to enable the inspector to perform a thorough inspection to be satisfied as to the safety of the boiler or unfired pressure vessel.
