The daily testing of boiler water level controls is a mandatory requirement as defined in the Health & Safety
Executive Guidance Note PM5.
The level of supervision is dependent upon the type of level controls (limiters) fitted.
Boilers fitted with self monitoring high integrity controls (limiters) should be tested daily by a qualified boiler at-
tendant, but may be supervised during the silent hours and weekends by a Competent Person trained to re-
spond to an alarm.
Daily testing of the controls is required which can be by simulation, with a weekly test by interrupting the feed
water pump and lowering the water by evaporation.
