boiler/unfired or pressure vessel is installed, reinstalled, or moved in the state of Washington. L&I
staff perform the inspections and investigations and issue permits and operating certificates.

permits for over 105,000 boilers and unfired pressure vessels
throughout the state.
- Administer National Board and State examinations
- Investigate accidents involving boiler or pressure vessel.
- Inspect, audit and review manufacturers of boilers and pressure
vessels for conformance with national construction standards.
Why we do it:
- To ensure public safety by performing annual or biennial inspections.
- To ensure proper manufacturing – We ensure that boilers and pressure
vessels are manufactured to approved codes and standards.
- To help owners, manufacturers and repair firms understand the codes, rules
and regulations.
