Boilers and Pressure Vessels: Insurers to Report Specific Violations Found During Inspections

TSSA is finalizing a Director’s Order related to an initiative that will require insurers to report specific violations through TSSA’s Boilers and Pressure Vessels Certificate of Inspection (BPV COI) Portal for Insurers beginning April 14, 2025. Advice on wording to the attached draft draft can be shared through tssaadvisorycouncil@tssa.org by March 31, 2025. 

This initiative is part of TSSA’s transition to an outcome-based regulatory approach, ensuring the collection of high quality, consistent and complete data on high-risk non-compliances and incidents. Insurers will be required to report specific violations through TSSA’s BPV COI Portal for Insurers beginning April 14, 2025. High-risk violations must be resolved by the device owners before a COI can be issued.

Currently, compliance data from insurance inspectors is not systematically tracked or analyzed. This new process will enable TSSA to receive, track, and analyze data on high-risk devices that could pose an elevated public safety risk. The collected data will help:

• Improve safety performance tracking
• Identify and understand risk trends and emerging issues
• Strengthen public safety outcomes

Stay tuned for further updates.
