An inspector shall, as soon as convenient after an inspection, make the necessary entries in the Memorandum of Inspection Book for the boiler and submit the book to the Chief Inspector. Care be taken to preserve the books and to keep them clean.
Inspection notes should briefly state to what extent boilers were cleared of the brick-work, lagging or concealing parts, the general condition of the boiler, parts requiring attention or repair and its special preparation is required at the next inspection.
Inspectors should also note in the Memorandum of Inspection Books all casual visits, inspections of steam pipes, visits for inspection of repair, inquiry into accidents, etc., and so provide a useful record of the history of the boiler for the information and guidance of inspectors at subsequent inspections.
In making inspections it is important that the inspector should pay particular attention to entries made in the Memorandum of Inspection Book at previous inspections.
