Description / Abstract:
These requirements apply to field assembled boiler assemblies
that are provided with or are intended for installation with single
fuel-gas, single fuel-oil, or combination gas-oil burning
equipment.
These requirements apply to fuel burning equipment which require
flame failure and other safeguards and which are intended primarily
for commercial and industrial installation.
Equipment covered by these requirements may be operated without
a competent attendant being constantly on duty at the equipment
while the burners are in operation.
The appliance shall be suitable for installation in accordance
with the Standards for Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA
31, and/or National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54, and the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70-1993.
A product that contains features, characteristics, components,
materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the
requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or
of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using
appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to
maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the
intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics,
components, materials, or systems conflict with specific
requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with
this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and
adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development,
revision, and implementation of this standard.
Equipment covered by these requirements shall be designed,
assembled, tested, and inspected in accordance with the
requirements of Section I or Section IV of the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code. Conformance with the code will be determined
by application of the ²H or ²S ² stamp and, if applicable the ²A ²
symbol stamp on the appropriate part of the boiler assembly.
Each field erected boiler shall undergo a final inspection
following completion of field assembly, ASME code required testing
and inspection, and operational testing. The inspection shall cover
all points required by the authority having jurisdiction.
