IBR stands for The Indian Boiler Regulations Act 1920 (with subsequent amendments).
It governs the manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of Steam Boilers. It became pointless to have a government inspection for each and every unit, and every other country in the world has moved on to either self compliance to specified standards, or at most a type approval system. However, the IBR still specifies a unit approval, and every item used in an IBR steam system has to be manufactured, installed, tested, operated and maintained under the watchful eye of our dear local inspector. |
