To help combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus, TDLR requested and received authority from Governor Greg Abbott to suspend certain regulatory requirements statewide, to the extent necessary to extend inspection time requirements for boilers.
- A boiler Certificate of Operation that expires in the time period from March 13, 2020 through May 31, 2020, shall NOT receive any penalty for failing to obtain an inspection before the Certificate of Operation expires.
- All boiler owners who request an extension of the internal inspection interval will maintain eligibility for an extension even if the required inspections have not been performed. This policy will be applied to all boiler extensions for which the Certificate of Operation expires during the time period of March 13, 2020 through May 31, 2020. (ยง755.025 and ยง755.026, Health and Safety Code)
TDLR investigators will respond in case of an accident or emergency.
