As for whether a water quality analysis report is required and who can issue it, one can consult the installation supervision and inspection agency. In addition, a safety valve calibration report and a pressure gauge verification report are also needed – those can be issued by those who have the appropriate qualifications; if not, one should consult the installation supervision and inspection agency
Water quality analysis reports are usually issued by the boiler inspection agency along with the boiler inspection results
