(a) If, upon investigation, a boiler is found to comply with the rules and regulations of the board, the owner or user of the boiler shall pay directly to the chief inspector an appropriate certificate fee as adopted by the board pursuant to § 68-122-102 , and the chief inspector, or such duly authorized representative, shall issue to such owner or user an inspection certificate bearing the date of inspection and specifying the maximum pressure under which the boiler may be operated. In no event shall such fee exceed a maximum amount of fifty dollars ($50.00) for high-pressure boilers or eighty dollars ($80.00) for low-pressure boilers and unfired pressure vessels. Such inspection certificate shall be valid for not more than twenty-four (24) months, for power boilers, and for not more than twenty-six (26) months, for low pressure heating boilers and unfired pressure vessels, from its date. Certificates shall be posted under glass in the room containing the boiler inspected, or, in the case of a portable boiler, in a metal container to be fastened to the boiler or to be kept in a tool box accompanying the boiler. (b) No inspection certificate issued for an insured boiler inspected by a special inspector shall be valid after the boiler for which it was issued shall cease to be insured by a company duly authorized by this state to carry such insurance. (c) The chief inspector or the chief inspector's authorized representative may at any time suspend an inspection certificate when, in the chief inspector's or representative's opinion, the boiler for which it was issued cannot be operated without menace to the public safety, or when the boiler is found not to comply with the rules and regulations provided for in this part. A special inspector shall have corresponding powers with respect to inspection certificates for boilers insured by the company employing the special inspector. Such suspension of an inspection certificate shall continue in effect until such boiler shall have been made to conform to the rules and regulations of the board, and until the inspection certificate shall have been reinstated.
