Name Plates and Stamping

When the stamping on a pressure-retaining item becomes indistinct or the nameplate is lost, illegible, or loose, but traceability to the original pressure-retaining item is still possible, can a new nameplate be made and attached to the existing boiler?

Yes. All re-stamping must be done in accordance with the original code of construction. Requests for permission to re-stamp or replace nameplates must be made to the jurisdiction in which the pressure-retaining item is located. Applications must be made on the Replacement of Stamped Data Form NB-136 (Appendix 5).

Proof of the original stamping and other available data shall be furnished with the request. The jurisdiction may grant such requests if satisfied with the information submitted.

You do not need permission to reattach nameplates that are loose or not fully attached. When traceability cannot be established, the jurisdiction must be contacted.
