Hi,

I am happy to help you with your questions.

A DG typically refers to a diesel generator, which is used to generate electricity using a diesel engine.

A boiler is a closed vessel that heats water to generate steam. This steam can be used for various purposes such as heating, power generation, or sanitation.

Inspection is the process of examining something closely to ensure it meets certain standards or requirements. In industrial contexts, inspection is crucial to maintaining safety and quality standards.

I hope this helps clarify your queries. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Yes, it is necessary for boilers and DG sets to be inspected every year. Actually, they have completely different requirements.

Boiler Inspection Requirements

1. If it's a boiler under the Indian Boilers Act, then inspection is required every year, and you need to check the boiler license for details on how to apply.

2. If it is a smaller boiler, then it is considered a pressure vessel under the Factories Act. The inspection schedule includes external inspection every 6 months, internal inspection every 12 months, and hydraulic/ultrasonic inspection every 2 years.

DG Sets Inspection

3. DG sets are inspected annually. You can contact the electrical inspector or the State Electrical Department for further information. All the details you need can be found on your DG license.

Dear Yogesh,

As per MP Factories Rules 1962, Section 31, all DG, pressure vessels, boilers, lifting tackles, etc., are to be inspected by a competent person authorized by the Chief Inspector of Factories as per the schedule given in this section. Please refer to the Factories Act 1948 and the factories rules of your state.

Thanks,
Raghav
