The containers weren’t sold and remained unused for a few years; can they still be sold? What procedures are needed?

In 2008, the unit manufactured two autoclaves; however, due to issues with the customer’s company, they failed to pick them up after they were completed. At that time, the factory exit documents, including the inspection certificate from the boiler inspection agency, had already been obtained. These two autoclaves are usually also placed in the material yard. Now some clients want these two autoclaves, and I’m not sure what procedures need to be followed. The boiler inspection agency examined the drawings and said that the design lifespan is 10 years, and that period is about to expire; they didn’t say what to do in such a situation. I would appreciate some guidance from the teachers. . You can’t just sell it as scrap metal. . . . Iron isn’t valuable either these days. . .
Try to conduct another flaw detection test and obtain a usage certificate, treating it as a newly produced item

Aren’t there methods available for assessing the remaining lifespan? Measuring the minimum effective thickness would be ideal. It’s also possible to consult expert organizations, such as the Standards Approval Committee
I have done this before. Write a situation report due to changes in the owner of the drawings and the project name. The design service life is not an issue, after all, it hasn’t been used. The boiler inspection agency will agree, but you need to explain the reasons and the process clearly, and provide a written statement stamped with the official seal.
If communication with the equipment inspection agency fails, it is possible to have it re-inspected and registered as a new device. There is a difference between the designed lifespan and the actual service life. As long as there are no significant differences in the various test results, both the inspection agency and the buyer will approve it; detailed and comprehensive construction documentation needs to be provided, and registration should be carried out following the established procedures after use.
Talk to the boiler inspection agency; it’s sufficient to have another inspection done. The customer isn’t aware of this
