(7B) A new air receiver shall not be taken into use in any factory unless— | ||
(a) there has been obtained from the manufacturer, or from a competent person, a certificate specifying the maximum permissible working pressure thereof and stating the nature of the tests to which the air receiver and fittings have been submitted, | ||
(b) the certificate is kept available for inspection, and | ||
(c) the air receiver is so marked as to enable it to be identified as the air receiver to which the certificate relates. | ||
