Full of **** as usual TurNiP.
A steam boiler has to opened up up every year for statutory insurance
inspection

There are different regulations for different types of boiler. For the ones as
used in power stations it is, and always has been, 26 months.

Furthermore the 26 months is for the operation of the safety valves and accuracy
of the pressure gauges. A full inspection and hydraulic test is only every five
years.
