Who is responsible for ensuring the hydrostatic test is conducted before operation?

The building owner
The contractor
The equipment supplier
The maintenance staff

The correct answer is: The contractor

The contractor is responsible for ensuring the hydrostatic test is conducted before the operation of a boiler. This test is essential as it verifies the integrity of the boiler and associated piping systems by checking for leaks and ensuring the equipment can withstand the pressures it will encounter during normal operation. The contractor has the expertise and knowledge necessary to perform this test according to industry standards and regulations. While other parties may have roles in the overall management or operation of the boiler system, it is ultimately the contractor's responsibility to ensure that all necessary safety and compliance tests, including the hydrostatic test, are performed and documented before the boiler is placed into service. This step is crucial for the safety and reliability of the boiler operation.
