(a) Each company employing Special Inspectors, except a company operating pressure vessels covered by an owner-user inspection service shall, within 10 business days following each certificate inspection, file a report of inspection with the Chief Inspector electronically or upon the appropriate forms as approved by the division.
(b) If the report filed pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section shows that a boiler or pressure vessel is found to comply with the rules and regulations of the Board, the owner or user thereof shall pay directly to the Office of the State Fire Marshal the fee established by the Board, and the Chief Inspector shall issue to the owner or user an Inspection Certificate bearing the date of inspection and specifying the maximum pressure under which the boiler or pressure vessel may be operated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, an Inspection Certificate shall remain valid beyond the expiration date noted on the certificate until the boiler or pressure vessel is reinspected by the authorized inspecting authorities or until the certificate is suspended by the Chief Inspector, provided that the owner or user of the boiler or pressure vessel makes it available for inspection at reasonable times. Certificates shall be posted in the room containing the boiler or pressure vessel inspected. If the boiler or pressure vessel is not located within the building, the certificate shall be posted in a location convenient to the boiler or pressure vessel inspected or in any place where it will be accessible to interested parties.
(c) Each company operating pressure vessels covered by an owner-user inspection program meeting the requirements of subsection (a) of Section 8 of this Act shall maintain in its files an inspection record, which shall list, by number and such abbreviated description as may be necessary for identification, each pressure vessel covered by this Act, the date of the last inspection of each unit, and the approximate date for the next inspection. The inspection date shall be arrived at by applying the appropriate rules to all data available at the time the inspection record is compiled. The inspection record shall be readily available for examination by the Chief Inspector or his authorized representative during business hours. Each such company shall, in addition, file annually with the Chief Inspector a statement, signed by the person having supervision over the inspections made during the period covered, stating the number of vessels covered by this Act inspected during the year and certifying that each inspection was conducted pursuant to the inspection standards provided for by this Act. The annual statement shall be accompanied by the fee established by the Board.
(d) (Blank).
(e) The Chief Inspector or his authorized representative may at any time suspend an Inspection Certificate when, in his opinion, the boiler or pressure vessel for which it was issued cannot be operated without menace to public safety, when the boiler or pressure vessel is found not to comply with the rules and regulations herein provided, or when an owner or operator has failed to pay any required fees or refused to allow inspection. In that event, the Chief Inspector or his representative shall issue a Notice of Suspension, which shall be posted in a conspicuous location on or near the posted Inspection Certificate. Each suspension of an Inspection Certificate shall continue in effect until the boiler or pressure vessel has been made to conform to the rules and regulations of the Board, and until the Inspection Certificate has been reinstated.
(b) If the report filed pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section shows that a boiler or pressure vessel is found to comply with the rules and regulations of the Board, the owner or user thereof shall pay directly to the Office of the State Fire Marshal the fee established by the Board, and the Chief Inspector shall issue to the owner or user an Inspection Certificate bearing the date of inspection and specifying the maximum pressure under which the boiler or pressure vessel may be operated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, an Inspection Certificate shall remain valid beyond the expiration date noted on the certificate until the boiler or pressure vessel is reinspected by the authorized inspecting authorities or until the certificate is suspended by the Chief Inspector, provided that the owner or user of the boiler or pressure vessel makes it available for inspection at reasonable times.
