Serving Colorado's Counties
Because boilers and pressure vessels can explode, causing property damage, injury, and death, the state of Colorado has a Boiler Inspection Section, part of the Oil and Public Safety division, that enforces nationally adopted standards on installation, operation, maintenance, and repair. Boilers and pressure vessels in commercial and public buildings must be inspected either annually or every two or three years, depending on BTU input.
Inspections may be conducted by either a Colorado Boiler Section inspector or by a special inspector. Special inspectors are inspectors employed by an insurance company licensed to sell or provide insurance for boilers or pressure vessels in Colorado who holds a valid commission as inspector issued by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessels.
A boiler or pressure vessel inspection checks nine different items:
For more information about each of these items, view the state provided document What the Inspector Looks for when Inspecting a Boiler. Also, consider this free guide that steps you through a checklist of specific items to consider before an inspector arrives.
A boiler or pressure vessel inspection conducted by a Colorado Boiler Section Inspector requires an inspection fee and a certificate fee based on the BTU input of the boiler/vessel. Currently, an initial inspection after installation costs $100 with a $25 certificate fee. A State Inspector must perform initial inspections; however, subsequent inspections can be performed by special insurance inspectors.
