A Valuable Resource: NB-370, National Board Synopsis

The National Board Synopsis of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Laws, Rules, and Regulations (NB-370) is a compilation of jurisdictional laws, rules, and regulations as reported to the National Board by jurisdictional authorities.

Available online since 2014, the Synopsis features a dropdown menu where users can select a specific jurisdiction to review a summary of its laws, rules, and regulations. Each online report includes the prevailing requirements, contact information, and regulatory history for each jurisdiction. A Synopsis update report will be published in the spring 2024 issue of the BULLETIN.
