Organization and facilities with an "R-Stamp" are subject to a review by The National Board. In order to complete an "R-Stamp" repair, the vessel must have a legible data plate. In order to be legible, you must be able to read the manufacturer, the serial number, the "U" stamp, the date of production, the total gallons the vessel can hold, and the maximum pressure of the vessel. If one of these is not readable, the data plate is considered illegible and therefore CAN NOT be repaired.

Once repaired and inspected, the vessel will be stamped with the name of "R-Stamp" holding company, along with their "R-Stamp" identification number, the date of completion, and the actual "R-Stamp" itself. The "R-Stamp" paperwork you receive from us needs to be retained in your records.
