Section 296-104-050. Administration—What are the requirements for a boiler inspector?

Application for examination for a Washington state certificate of competency shall be in writing upon a form to be furnished by the chief inspector stating the school and education of the applicant, a list of employers, period of employment and position held with each employer. Applications containing willful falsification or untruthful statements shall be rejected.

In order to qualify as a prospective inspector, an applicant shall meet the minimum requirements as set forth in the national board's "Rules for Commissioned Inspectors," NB263, (current edition) or API-510 (current edition), as appropriate.

If the applicant's history and experience meet with the approval of the chief inspector based on the board of boiler rules approved criteria, the candidate shall be given the Washington state examination. If the applicant is accepted on the merits of these examinations or as provided for in WAC 296-104-065, and the applicant is in possession of a national board commission or API-510 certification, as appropriate, a Washington state certificate of competency will be issued by the chief inspector.

For those applicants sitting for the national board examination in conjunction with the Washington state examination, a certificate of competency will be issued by the chief inspector upon receipt of a valid national board commission.

Examinations shall be held at locations and times when considered necessary by the chief inspector. The examinations may be offered four times each year, namely, the first Wednesday and following Thursday of the months of March, June, September and December. Special examinations may be held when considered necessary by the chief inspector.
