Medical boilers and autoclaves: fewer inspections

Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas exempts qualifying medical-device boilers from state boiler registration and inspection requirements. These boilers must be part of a device regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Inside shell diameter cannot exceed 16 inches; gross volume cannot exceed 5 cubic feet, excluding casing and insulation. Allowable working pressure cannot exceed 100 pounds per square inch gauge. Heating surface cannot exceed 20 square feet unless the boiler is electric. Unfired pressure vessels in autoclaves are also exempt from these registration and inspection requirements.
