If you manage the operation and maintenance of boilers and pressure vessels, you may find it helpful to know where you can find additional information about the North Carolina Boiler Safety Bureau and the Boiler Code.
What is the North Carolina Boiler Code?
According to the NC Department of Labor website, the North Carolina Boiler Safety Bureau, a division of the NCDOL, “is responsible for establishing and enforcing minimum safety standards for boilers and pressure vessels”. These minimum safety standards are outlined in the UNIFORM BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL ACT OF NORTH CAROLINA (Chapter 95, Article 7A of the N.C. General Statutes enacted by the General Assembly in 1975), and are more commonly referred to as the North Carolina Boiler Code. The boiler bureau’s website along with a full copy of the boiler code can be accessed through the NC Labor home page.
