[(b)] (C) If the report filed pursuant to
subsection (a) of this section shows that a boiler or
pressure vessel is found to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Board, the owner OR user thereof shall
pay directly to the chief inspector the sum of five
dollars ($5.00) and the chief boiler inspector shall
issue to such owner or user an inspection certificate
bearing the date of inspection and specifying the maximum
pressure under which the boiler or pressure vessel may be
operated. Such inspection certificate shall be valid for
not more than fourteen (14) months from its date in the
case of power boilers and high pressure, high temperature
water boilers and twenty—six (26) months in the case of
low pressure steam or vapor heating boilers, hot water
heating boilers or hot water supply boilers and pressure
vessels, except that, when the Board has granted an
extension of the period between certificate inspections
as permitted by [§ 176 of] this subtitle, the certificate
shall be valid for a grace period of two (2) months
beyond the expiration date of the current certificate.
Certificates shall be posted under glass in the room
containing the boiler or pressure vessel inspected. If
the boiler or pressure vessel is not located within the
building, the certificate shall be posted in a location
convenient to the boiler or pressure vessel inspected or
in any place where it will be accessible to interested
parties.

[(c)] (D) No inspection certificate issued for an

insured boiler or pressure vessel based upon a report of

a special inspector shall be valid after the boiler or

pressure vessel for which it was issued shall cease to   be

insured by a company duly authorized by this State   to
provide such insurance.

[(d)] (E) The chief boiler inspector or his
authorized representative may at any time suspend an
inspection certificate when, in his opinion, the boiler
or pressure vessel for which it was issued cannot be
operated without menace to the public safety or when the
boiler or pressure vessel is found not to comply with the
rules and regulations herein provided. Each suspension
of an inspection certificate shall continue in effect
until such boiler or pressure vessel shall have been made
to conform to the rules and regulations of the Board and
until such inspection certificate shall have been
reinstated.

[(e)] (F) After twelve (12) months following the
date on which this subtitle becomes effective, it shall
be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership or
corporation to operate in this State a boiler or pressure
vessel, EXCEPT A PRESSURE VESSEL COVERED BY OWNER OR USER
