The complete statutory engineering guide to the Pressure Equipment Regulations (PER) in South Africa, covering steam boiler inspections, hydrostatic pressure tests, and AIA certification.
Statutory 36-month boiler inspections, safety valve calibration, and AIA vessel certification.High-pressure steam boilers, autoclaves, and compressed air receivers present catastrophic explosion risks if not maintained to strict engineering standards. The Pressure Equipment Regulations mandate rigorous verification by accredited third-party AIAs.
Air receivers must be externally inspected every 12 months and undergo internal inspection and hydrostatic pressure testing every 36 months.
