Documents Required for Re-Registration

Application for Re-Registration of pressure vessel is done by an Authorised Examiner via the internet. The owner will need to provide the following document to the Authorised Examiner:

Based on the information provided to the Authorised Examiner, he will determine what tests and examination the pressure vessel requires before it can be used. The tests will be carried out by an Authorised Examiner. The Authorised Examiner may carry out any further examination and tests he deems necessary before he registers the pressure vessel. The owner must pay the costs incurred for these tests.

The Authorised Examiner will issue a Report of Examination after the tests have been satisfactorily completed and the owner has paid the fees.
