attached thereto is in a dangerous condition.
Under Section 10 of the Act, when the period of a certificate relating to a
boiler has expired, the owner shall, provided that he has applied before the expiry of
that period for a renewal of the Certificate, be entitled to use the boiler at the
maximum pressure entered in the former certificate, pending the issue of orders on
the application but this shall not be deemed to authorise the use of a boiler in any of
the cases referred to in clause (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of sub-section (1) of section 8
occurring after the expiry of the period of the certificate.

(3)

The boiler shall not be used at a pressure greater than the pressure entered in the
certificate as the maximum pressure nor with the safety valve set to a pressure
exceeding such maximum pressure.

(4)

The boiler shall not be used otherwise than in a condition which the owner
reasonably believes to be compatible with safe working.
