Boiler Attendance Requirement?

[txdilbert]

Boiler Experts,

I have been involved in discussions about whether there is a national code or rule that requires building-level boilers above a certain heating input to be constantly supervised by a qualified on-site person, capable of responding to an alarm condition in a responsbile manner. My initial opinion and research indicates there is no such code, but from experience I know there are many things done in industry that aren't necessarily in accordance with code. So, I turn to you, the specialists. Is there guidance in place related to boiler supervision that I'm not finding?

Typically, in the US regulations for boiler operation is done at the State and City level (also called Jurisdictions). I would suggest you search the internet for various Jurisdictions across the US and they will have requirements for boiler output, operating license and boiler attendant requirements.
