Ch. 5

2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from the second sentence of former Art. 48, § 168.

It is restated in the standard introductory language to a definition section.

(B)     BOARD.

"BOARD" MEANS THE BOARD OF BOILER RULES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from the first sentence of former Art. 48, § 169(a), as it
related to the Board of Boiler Rules being referred to as the "Board".

Defined term: "Boiler" § 12-901

(C)     BOILER.
"BOILER" MEANS:

(1)      A CLOSED VESSEL IN WHICH WATER IS HEATED, STEAM IS
GENERATED, STEAM IS SUPERHEATED, OR A COMBINATION OF THESE FUNCTIONS IS
ACCOMPLISHED, UNDER PRESSURE OR VACUUM FOR USE EXTERNALLY TO THE
VESSEL BY THE DIRECT APPLICATION OF HEAT FROM THE COMBUSTION OF FUELS
OR FROM ELECTRICITY OR NUCLEAR ENERGY; OR

(2)      A FIRED UNIT FOR HEATING OR VAPORIZING LIQUIDS OTHER THAN
WATER IF THE UNIT IS SEPARATE FROM A PROCESSING SYSTEM AND IS COMPLETE
WITHIN ITSELF.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 48, § 168(a).

In item (2) of this subsection, the word "means" is substituted for the
former words "shall include" so that the "means" part of the definition of
"boiler" is not expanded by the "includes" part of the definition as it was in
the former law. The first sentence of former § 168(a) defined a boiler as a
closed vessel in which water was heated. The second sentence of former §
168(a) referred to a fired unit for heating or vaporizing liquids other than
water.

(D)     CERTIFICATE.

"CERTIFICATE" MEANS A CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY THE CHIEF BOILER
INSPECTOR TO OPERATE A BOILER OR PRESSURE VESSEL.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition
of phrases such as "certificate issued by the Chief Boiler Inspector to
operate a boiler or pressure vessel".

Defined terms: "Boiler" § 12-901
"Pressure vessel" § 12-901

(E)     CERTIFICATE INSPECTION.
