GSA Form 349, Inspection Report of Boiler, is a General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service form dated November 1962, and GSA hosts it in its forms library. The heading says to make a separate report for each boiler.
The form has 60 numbered items. They cover the building and boiler, the manufacturer's rating and operating pressures, the fuel and tubes, the condition found inside and out, the hydrostatic test, safety valves, gauges and fusible plugs, feeding apparatus and firing equipment, repairs since the last inspection, fire fighting provisions and how the personnel in charge grade. It ends with whether the boiler is safe to operate, the inspector's recommendations and signature, and remarks by the local officer or engineer in charge.
