(1) (a) The owner of a boiler or pressure vessel who considers himself aggrieved by the decision of an appointed examiner under section 47 as to the maximum permissible working pressure at which the boiler or pressure vessel may be operated may, not later than 7 days after he was notified of the decision, appeal to the Authority. (b) Every such appeal shall be in writing. (2) When, upon such an appeal, the Authority has determined the maximum permissible working pressure at which, in his opinion, the boiler or pressure vessel, as the case may be, may be operated, he shall notify thereof the owner of the boiler or pressure vessel and, upon the delivery to him by the owner of the boiler or pressure vessel of the certificate of fitness, if any, issued after the examination, shall, where necessary, amend the certificate so that it indicates the maximum permissible working pressure determined by him. (Amended 87 of 1988 s. 20 ) (3) The determination of the Authority upon such an appeal shall be final. (4) Where such an appeal has been made, the boiler or pressure vessel in question shall not, until the determination of the appeal, be operated at a pressure greater than the maximum permissible working pressure determined by the appointed examiner.
