BOILER
TESTING
Attention all owners of steam driven boats
All
members wishing to run steam powered vessels on the lake at Etherow Country
Park are required to have an up-to-date boiler certificate conforming to newly
revised
national
regulations concerning the testing of boilers that have come into operation as
from 1st January 2013.
All
steam driven boats operated by EMBC members must meet at least the minimum
requirement of the new test code in order to be covered by the Club’s insurance
and to be allowed to sail on the lake.
The
regulations distinguish between small boilers with a pressure-volume product
below 3 bar/ litres and larger boilers of 3 bar/ litres plus. The rules apply to
commercially made boilers, so no exceptions!
Owners
of steam driven boats are requested have in their possession an up to date
boiler certificate when sailing at the lake and may be asked at any time to
show this to one of the officers of the Club.
Members
now need to arrange to a boiler test through our registered boiler tester, Mr
David Sharp (contact number 01625 266 824).
It is your immediate responsibility to make an appointment. The tests cannot be undertaken at the
Landing Stage but in David’s home workshop.
