Understanding the Indian Boiler (Amendment) Regulations 2015: What Changes Matter Most?

Dear friends,

Please find attached the Indian Boiler (Amendment) Regulations 2015 notified on 15.4.2015.

Thanks

Dear Mr. Agarwal,

Thank you for posting this. The hitherto IBR regulation was very old and was crying out for redress. It's good to see that opinions were sought from all concerned while making this amendment. Furthermore, it is heartening to see that all regulations from advanced countries have also been taken into account.

Hi,

Can anyone provide a detailed explanation to understand the major changes brought in by this amendment? Previously, the applicability of this act was very stringent, requiring even small boilers with a capacity of 22.5 litres to obtain a boiler inspection certificate. Has there been any change in this regard?

Thanks in advance.

It is required to operate a boiler at 90% of its design pressure irrespective of its condition if the boiler has completed a service of 35 years?
