The Commerce and Industry Ministry on Thursday invited applications from companies to be recognized as third party inspecting authorities for the boiler industry, a move aimed at promoting ease of doing business. Third party inspecting authorities, as per the Indian Boilers Regulations (IBR), are allowed to inspect and certify boilers and boiler components. Also, well-known manufactures under IBR are allowed to self-certify products manufactured by them for use in boilers.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) said applications are invited from the "eligible companies/ firms for recognition as third party inspecting authorities, competent authority" and well-known material testing lab, steel maker, foundry/forge, tube/pipe maker and remnant life assessment organisation under the Indian Boiler Regulations.
