About this statute
These Regulations are cited as the Factories (Plant Inspection and Examination Fees) Regulations, 2018, and they apply to factories, building operations, and works of engineering construction. Steam boilers, steam receivers, and air receivers must be inspected periodically under Part VIII of the Act. A fee must be paid for each inspection or examination of a steam boiler, steam receiver, or air receiver when the inspection is done by an inspector or a person authorised by the Commissioner. When a steam boiler, steam receiver, or air receiver is due for inspection or examination, the Commissioner must notify the owner, user, or occupier by registered letter of the date and time, at least 10 days in advance. If a plant inspection or examination is delayed because the owner, user, or occupier was not prepared, a surcharge applies. The inspector must also issue an Inspection Report with a “Nil” entry for Maximum Permissible Pressure when the inspection cannot be carried out.
