REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b), (c)(1) and (2), and (d) through (i) of this
section are new language derived without substantive change from former
Art. 48, §§ 176, 172(b), 178(a), and the second sentence of 168(c).

Subsection (c)(3) of this section is new language added to state explicitly
that which only was implied in the former law. Under § 12-907 of this
subtitle, owners of pressure vessels may employ special inspectors to make
inspections of pressure vessels.

In subsection (a)(4)(i) of this section, the former reference to a "valid"
certificate of safety is deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to an "insurer" is
substituted for the former reference to an "insurance company" for
consistency with terminology used in the Insurance Article.
