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

(c) on the first occasion on which it is again subjected to steam pressure and after it has been subjected to the hydraulic test where such test is considered necessary, the steam receiver shall be-

(i) 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 test.

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

(a) the steam receiver shall first be subjected by an appointed

examiner to an hydraulic test; and

(b) the steam receiver shall thereafter, on the first occasion on

which it is again subjected to steam pressure, 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 test.

40. (1) The following provisions apply to the examination of an air receiver, other than a pressure vessel, for the purposes of section 23. 27 or 32-

(a) the air receiver shall first be examined when it is not under pressure and has been prepared for examination in the manner prescribed in subsection (2) of section 37:

(b) where, upon the examination in accordance with paragraph (a), the appointed examiner who carried out the same is of opinion that the air receiver is in need of immediate repairs in order to maintain it in safe working order, he shall notify the owner of the air receiver of the repairs that he considers necessary; (c) in each of the following cases, the air 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 (b) are extensive repairs;

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

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

and

(d) finally, the air receiver shall be-

(i) 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

(B) subjected by an appointed examiner to a pressure accumulation (est.

(2) The following provisions apply to the examination of an air receiver, other than a pressure vessel, for the purposes of section 24-

(a) where an appointed examiner considers it necessary, the air receiver shall first be examined when it is not under pressure and has been prepared for examination in the manner prescribed in subsection (2) of section 37;

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

(c) in every case, the air receiver shall be--

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

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

(3) The following provisions apply to the examination of an air receiver, other than a pressure vessel, for the purposes of section 26-

(a) the air receiver shall first be subjected by an appointed

examiner to an hydraulic test; and

(b) the air receiver sball thereafter 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 test.

41. Where a new boiler or steam receiver is being examined for Examination the purposes of subsection (1) of section 24 or a new steam container of pipes of is being examined for the purposes of subsection (2) of section 28, every steam recei

new boilers, pipe that will convey steam or water under pressure to or from the were or steam boiler, steam receiver or steam container, as the case may be, shall be containers. subjected by a boiler inspector to an hydraulic test.
