The IMC is amended by adding a section to read as follows:

SECTION 1602

EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT

1602.1 Placing equipment in operation. After completion of all installations, the installer shall test all safety and operating controls and venting before placing the burner in service. The correct input of liquid fuel shall be determined and the fuel-to-air ratio set. Each oil or liquid fuel burner shall be adjusted to its proper input according to the manufacturer's instructions. Overrating the burners or the appliance is prohibited. The input range shall be appropriate to the appliance.

1. For conversion burners installed in hot water (liquid) boilers or warm air furnaces, the rate of flow of the oil or liquid fuel in Btu/h shall be adjusted to within plus or minus five percent of the design load, and not to exceed the design rate of the appliance.

2. For conversion burners installed in steam boilers, the oil or liquid fuel hourly input demand shall be adjusted to meet the steam load requirements. The oil or liquid fuel input demand necessitated by an oversized boiler shall be established and added to the input demand for load requirements to arrive at a total input demand.
