the examination thereof when it was cold and after it has been subjected to the hydraulic test where such examination or lest is considered necessary.

(3) The following provisions apply to the examination of a boiler for the purposes of section 25--

(a) the boiler shall first be examined when it is cold and has beco prepared for examination in the manner prescribed in para- graphs (4), (c), (d) and (e) of subsection (1) of section 37;

(b) where an appointed examiner considers it necessary, the boiler shall next be subjected by an appointed examiner to an hydraulic test; and

(c) save for any economizer or superhealer that may be fitted therein, the boiler shall be examined when it is under the pressure that will be specified in the certificate of fitness as the maximum permissible working pressure at which it may be operated, such examination being carried out on the first occasion on which steam is again raised in the boiler and after it has been subjected to the hydraulic test where such test is considered necessary.

(4) The following provisions apply to the examination of a boiler for the purposes of section 26-

(a) the boiler shall first be subjected by an appointed examiner to

an hydraulic test; and

(b) save for any economizer or superheater that may be fitted therein, the boiler shall thereafter be examined when it is under the pressure that will be specified in the certificate of fitness as the maximum permissible working pressure at which it may be operated, such examination being carried out on the first occasion on which steam is again raised in the boiler.

39. (1) The following provisions apply to the examination of a steam receiver for the purposes of section 23, 27 or 32–

(b) where, upon the examination in accordance with paragraph (a). the appointed examiner who carried out the same is of opinion that the steam receiver is in need of immediate repairs in order to maintain it in safe working order, he shall in writing notify the owner of the steam receiver of the repairs that he considers

necessary;

(c) in each of the following cases, the steam receiver shall next be subjected by an appointed examiner to an hydraulic test-

(i) where any repairs that have been carried out pursuant to a notice given by an appointed examiner in accordance with paragraph (6) are extensive repairs;

(ii) where the size or design of the steam receiver is such that the internal parts thereof cannot be readily examined;

(i) without prejudice to the provisions of sub-paragraph (1) or (Ü), whenever an appointed examiner considers it necessary: and

(1) subjected by an appointed examiner to a pressure accumulation test.

(2) The following provisions apply to the examination of a steam receiver for the purposes of section 24-

(a) where an appointed examiner considers it necessary, the steam receiver shall first be examined when it is cold and has been prepared for examination in the manner prescribed in sub- section (2) of section 37;

(b) where an appointed examiner considers it necessary, the steam receiver shall next be subjected by an appointed examiner to an bydraulic test; and

(c) on the first occasion on which the steam receiver is subjected to steam pressure and after the examination thereof when it was cold and after it has been subjected to the hydraulic test where such examination or test is considered necessary. the steam receiver shall be----

(1) examined when it is under the pressure that will be specified in the certificate of fitness as the maximum permissible working pressure at which it may be operated; or

(ii) subjected by an appointed examiner to a pressure accumulation lest.

(3) The following provisions apply to the examination of a steam receiver for the purposes of section 25-
