SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Question: Can the Mechanic II license stand in for a boiler operator license and how do contractors get licenses when city of Spokane suspended testing?

Answer: No, a boiler operator license is required. Spokane Municipal Code Title 17G, Chapter 17G.010, Section 17G.010.200 specifies the minimum qualifications to become a licensed boiler operator and licensed gas heating mechanic. The minimum qualifications to become a gas heating mechanic are associated with gas fitting education and gas fitting work. The minimum qualifications to become a boiler operator are associated with boiler operation time, boiler operating pressure and boiler input (except LP boiler and small HP boiler).

The minimum qualifications to become a gas heating mechanic do not encompass the qualifications for boiler operators and therefore are not a replacement for boiler operator licenses. The link to the specific Spokane Municipal Code is:

https://my.spokanecity.org/smc/?Section=17G.010.200 .

An example of Boiler Operator license requirements are listed below:

1st Class Boiler Operator Two (2) years of practical experience as a boiler operator with eighteen (18) months of that experience in a high pressure plant; or, certification from a recognized school of technology devoted to steam engineering and one

(1) year of practical experience as a boiler operator. This license authorizes the holder to operate any and all boilers.

2nd Class Boiler Operator One (1) year of practical experience as a boiler operator in a high-pressure plant. The license authorizes the holder to operate a steam plant not exceeding 8,000,000 BTU input or to act and operate as assistant operator to a 1st Class Boiler Operator.

3rd Class Boiler Operator One (1) year of practical experience as a boiler operator. This license authorizes the holder to operate a steam plant not exceeding 4,000,000 BTU input or to have charge of an opposite shift to a 2nd Class Boiler Operator.

Small High-Pressure Boiler Operator No experience required; applicant must be 18 years old. This license authorizes the holder to operate a small high-pressure boiler not to exceed 800,000 BTU input or 150 PSI.

Low-Pressure Boiler Operation (LPB) No experience required; applicant must be 18 years old. This license authorizes the holder to operate any low -pressure boiler not to exceed 15 lbs (steam) or not to exceed 160 PSI and/or 250 degrees Fahrenheit (water).

The city of Spokane’s Development Services Center Permit Team has suspended testing. The testing suspension went into effect the day Washington State’s Stay Home Stay Healthy order was issued. Normal testing will resume when the order is lifted for our area. The order’s end dates are unknown at this time. Washington State has no reciprocity for other state boiler certifications. However, testing can be accommodated at the contractor’s place of business if required. Contact Spokane’s Development Services Center Permit Team for scheduling testing at 509.625.6199, tenfieldallred@spokanecity.org .
