Under the User-Managed program, what is the maximum interval between internal inspections if the boiler is in an approved integrity program?

• A. 12 months
• B. 24 months
• C. 60 months
• D. 36 months (3 years) if in approved integrity program

Answer: (D)

In a User-Managed program, allowing longer intervals between internal inspections relies on having an approved integrity program in place. That program provides documented ongoing assurance of the boiler’s internal condition through risk-based monitoring and validated maintenance, so the authority permits extending the inspection interval. The maximum interval you can have in this scenario is 36 months (3 years). So, while shorter intervals like 12 or 24 months are common without an approved integrity program (and 60 months could be seen in other contexts), the approved integrity program specifically sets the upper limit at 36 months.
