All boilers and pressure vessels subject to the provisions of the Boiler Safety Act shall be inspected by a commissioned inspector. The Commissioner of Labor may determine both the frequency and the method of inspection. The method of inspection must provide an adequate procedure to insure the safety of individuals likely to be injured by an explosion or accident involving a boiler or pressure vessel. No boiler or pressure vessel may be operated without an inspection certificate, except pressure vessels being operated under an owner-user provision where administrative procedures of equal safety and competency have been approved by the Commissioner. No more than 60 days grace period may be granted beyond the certificate expiration date.
