    The Boilers (Amendment) Act 2007 is expected to be notified in early July according to an official from the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. The Act allows for third party inspection of boilers to certify safety. However, the department has received over 1,000 objections from industry regarding provisions in the draft notifications. Specifically, industries argue that allowing individuals without proper experience to inspect boilers could put lives and property at risk. They suggest regulations be amended to require competent individuals with experience, and that an appeals process be added for orders made by inspectors.
