Maine Revised Statutes Title 32. Professions and Occupations § 15112. Condemned vessels stamped

A boiler or pressure vessel condemned in this State must be stamped “XXX Me.,” and the chief inspector must immediately be notified of the condemnation.

The stamp “XXX Me.” placed on condemned boilers must be made across the registration mark or number of the boiler, or if the boiler has no registration mark or number, a stamp must be placed in the location of this mark as determined by the rules of the code.

The stamping must be done with individual letters, driven into the plate so far as to thoroughly cancel any previous registration and must be made with letters at least 3/8 of an inch high.

The laws and regulations of the code must be used in all mathematical computations necessary to determine the safety of a boiler.
