The details and limits on the type, design criteria, and usage of unattended, limited attendance and attended boilers to which this Standard is intended to apply are as follows:
(a) Boilers for fixed land installations.
(b) Boilers having a design pressure as shown in Table 1.
(c) Boilers having a power output within the capacity specified in Table 1 for the boiler type and category. (See Note 1.)
(d) Boilers complying with the supervision and maintenance requirements specified in Table 1 for the boiler type and category.

(i) water-tube type electric type or small boiler types (see Table 1) for unattended operation;
(ii) any type of boiler for limited attendance operation (see Table 1); and
(iii) any type of boiler for attended operation (see Table 1).
(f) Boilers for the heating of water or other liquids at a pressure above that of the atmosphere and to a temperature not less than the normal atmospheric boiling temperature of the liquid, for which duty any type of boiler complying with AS 1228 is permitted for unattended operation, provided that for other than water-tube and electric type boilers, steam or vapour is not generated in the boiler and the boiler drum or shell is fully flooded.
(g) Boilers having any of the following sources of energy input:
(i) Gas fuel (mains or other gases).
(ii) Oil fuel with a closed flashpoint greater than 23°C.
(iii) Solid fuels, including solid-fuel-in-suspension.
