| Boiler Inspection Section 1.
What notification is required?
Before placing a new or
re-located boiler in service, the installer must notify the State Boiler
Inspection Section of the Division of Oil and Public Safety:
Before the installers of any boiler have boilers placed
in service, they shall notify the section, which, within ten days or as soon
thereafter as possible from the date of receiving such notification, shall send
an inspector to examine said boilers to determine that the construction,
material, bracing, fuel and fluid supply systems, control apparatus, combustion
air and ventilating air, electric wiring, piping, and all other parts of such
boilers are such as to assure the safety of the boilers. [9-4-106(2) CO Revised Statutes]
2. How does an installer notify the State
Boiler Inspection Section?
Notify
the State Boiler Inspection by either of the following:
(A) Obtain an application from our website:
http://oil.cdle.state.co.us
and click the Boiler Inspection Section and then click on
Forms, OR;
(B) Call the Boiler Inspection Section office:
303-318-8484 and ask for an application to be mailed to you.
Submit completed application to:
Colo. Dept. of Labor and Employment
Division of Oil & Public Safety
633 17th Street, Suite 500
Denver, CO 80202-3660
3. Can I operate the boiler before it is
inspected?
Yes, you may operate the boiler before the initial inspection is
performed providing that you have notified the Division of the new
installation.
4. Can an insurance (special) inspector perform
this inspection?
If
you carry special boiler insurance, your insurance company’s inspector can
inspect the boiler and authorize putting it into service. Contact your insurance company to request
this inspection. However, a state
inspector must also inspect the boiler before you can receive a Certificate of
Inspection.
5. How long does it take to receive the
Certificate of Inspection?
In
most cases, you will receive a Certificate of Inspection for a new or
re-located boiler within one month of the inspection date. This assumes that there are no violations
requiring correction and that you pay the invoice on receipt.
Before
you receive the Certificate, you will first receive from the Boiler Inspection
Section an invoice covering the inspection and certificate fees. If the inspector noted any code
violation(s), you will also receive a Notice of Requirements itemizing any
violations you must correct before receiving a Certificate.
Notify
the State Boiler Inspection Section office if you do not receive an invoice
within 2 weeks of the inspection date or if you have a special need to receive
the Certificate of Inspection very quickly. Please call
(303) 318-8484.
6. How much does the Certificate of Inspection
cost?
$75
for a new boiler. This includes $60 for
the inspection by the state boiler inspector and $15 for issuance of the
Certificate. Click

schedule, including the costs of periodic inspections of existing boilers.
