VR Stamp Renewal Process
VR Stamp Renewal Process
(OP)
We have been a certified VR Stamp shop now for 3 years and are getting ready for the renewal process. Does anyone have an idea what would be involved with this audit? Will we be rebuilding valves or sending off site for testing like what was done in the intial process? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sean

RE: VR Stamp Renewal Process
Yes you will be rebuilding valves in the presence of the NB Inspector.
The valves you rebuilt will be sent offsite for testing by the National Board, or by an approved location.
The inspector will be onsite reviewing your paperwork for clarity and issues on the 1st day, and the 2nd day is usually spent in the shop with the valve techs watching them do their thing. Make sure you have valves that have been in process service that you can use for testing. This was our problem which we finally resolved.
