NBIC (National Board Inspection Code)

The NBIC, or National Board Inspection Code, is a set of standards used to ensure the safe design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of pressure-retaining equipment like boilers, pressure vessels, and safety devices. Managed by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, it provides guidelines for inspection procedures, quality assurance, and proper repairs. The goal is to prevent accidents, protect public safety, and promote reliable operation of pressurized systems across various industries by establishing consistent best practices.
