    (a) All automatic auxiliary boilers except fired thermal fluid 
heaters must be tested and inspected in accordance with this subpart and 
subpart 61.05 of this part.
    (b) Fired thermal fluid heaters must be tested and inspected in 
accordance with subpart 61.30 of this part.
    (c) All controls, safety devices, and other control system equipment 
must be tested and inspected to verify their proper design, 
construction, installation, and operation.
    (d) All tests must be performed after installation of the automatic 
auxiliary boiler and its control system(s) aboard the vessel.
    (e) As far as practicable, test techniques must not simulate 
monitored system conditions by misadjustment, artificial signals, 
improper wiring, tampering, or revision of the system tested. The use of 
a synthesized signal or condition applied to a sensor is acceptable if 
the required test equipment is maintained in good working order and is 
periodically calibrated. Proper operation and proper calibration of test 
equipment must be demonstrated to the Officer in Charge, Marine 
Inspection.
