AIA and pressure vessel inspection

In-service pressure equipment inspections may require involvement by an appropriately approved inspection authority depending on the equipment and regulated activity. The inspection route should be confirmed against current South African legal requirements before work begins.

APIA’s website is structured around these search themes because they reflect how industrial clients look for inspection services. Formal approval claims will only be activated when the relevant approval has actually been granted.
