Pressure Equipment Regulations and Miniature Steam Boilers

This infosheet is in the form of two letters, one from the Federation asking for clarification of certain points regarding the status of 'amateur built' boilers under various conditions of use and sale, the second a reply clarifying these points. Please read the infosheet for more details, this is especially important if you are selling a boiler which you have made but not used, or have had help with making, e.g. silver soldering or welding.
