Suspension or revocation of certificate

of fitness.

Steam Boilers.

7. If the owner of a boiler gives notice to an inspec- tor of his desire to have it inspected, at the same time paying the fee prescribed by regulations for such inspec- tion, the inspector shall, subject to any regulations relating to certificates of inspection granted by inspecting authorities in respect of boilers constructed outside the Colony, make a thorough examination of the boiler and every part thereof at a time to be appointed by him, between sunrise and sunset, and within a reasonable period after such notice.

8. If the inspector after making such examination is satisfied that a certificate of fitness may properly be granted in respect of any boiler, he shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the owner thereof such a certificate, authorizing the use of the boiler for a period not exceeding fourteen months.

9. (1) Any inspector may suspend or revoke any certificate of fitness if on inspection or examination of the boiler in respect of which it was granted he is satisfied that-

(a) the certificate was fraudulently obtained or im-

properly granted; or

(b) the boiler or any part thereof has sustained material damage or is not in good condition or, contrary to the provisions of this Ordinance or any regula- tions, has been altered, added to or renewed; or (c) the pressure of steam used in the boiler is at any time greater than is prescribed in the certificate;

or

(d) in any other case, the provisions of this Ordinance or of any regulations are not complied with in respect of the boiler.

(2) The suspension or revocation of a certificate of fit- ness shall be indorsed on the certificate and signed by an inspector, but if it is not immediately practicable to make such indorsement and it is necessary in the inspector's opinion for the protection of life or property to stop the operation of the boiler, he may give notice of such suspen- sion in writing, conspicuously posted at the place where the boiler may be, and on the posting of such notice the certificate shall be deemed to be suspended; and the inspector may also if he thinks fit take such steps as may

be necessary
