Variation by Authority of determination of appointed examiner
(1)
Where—
(a)
a decision of an appointed examiner under
section 47
relates to an uncertified boiler or pressure vessel; and
(b)
the Authority is of the opinion that it would not be safe to use the boiler or pressure vessel at the maximum permissible working pressure determined by the appointed examiner,
the Authority may, within 30 days of being notified of that decision, reduce the maximum
permissible working pressure to a pressure at
which, in the opinion of the Authority, the boiler
or pressure vessel may be operated.
(2)
Where, under subsection (1), the Authority reduces the maximum permissible working pressure of a boiler or pressure vessel, he shall notify the owner of the boiler or pressure vessel of that reduction and, upon 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 as reduced by him.
