Q: Why haven’t I received my boiler operating certificate?

Q: What are my duties as an owner, installer, contractor when installing a new boiler?
A: Colorado statutes require notification to the state boiler office
of a newly-installed or relocated boiler before the boiler is placed in
service. This notification may be made by the boiler owner, user or
installer. Ultimately, however, it is the boiler owner who will be held
accountable if proper notification is not made. [See §§9-4-106(1),(2) &
§9-4-108(1) CRS; CCR 1101-5 §§1-10 & 1-16(a)]
Q: Why does an insurance inspector inspect my boiler?
A: If you maintain insurance on your boiler, the insurance inspector who is commissioned

canceled, a state inspector will inspect your boiler.
