If the results indicate that a safety valve is leaking, failing to open or close promptly, showing signs of sticking, or failing to stop further pressure build-up, steps must be taken to prevent further pressure build-up and the boiler must be taken out of service until the defective valve is repaired or replaced.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 23 SDR 139, effective March 5, 1997.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34-29A-14.1">34-29A-14.1.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34-29A-14.1">34-29A-14.1.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
