In regards to boilers, what is a CSD-1?
CSD is an acronym for Controls and Safety Devices. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has established the code CSD-1 as the rule of minimum compliance under Michigan Law, R 408.4001 – Dept. of Consumer and Industry Services – Bureau of Construction Codes – Board of Boiler Rules. This is the minimum standard for the boiler use, construction, operation, inspection, repair, maintenance, components, valve manufacturing and safety. A state license is required for inspection, installation, alteration, and repair. Presently, commercial boilers with fuel input ratings of 12,500,000 Btu/hr or less require the CSD-1 annual inspection. Please call us at 517-484-9944 to clarify your boiler inspection requirements.
