What do you call a request to cease using a boiler until it is repaired?

The term that refers to a request to cease using a boiler until it is repaired is known as a preliminary order. This action is typically issued by a regulatory authority or safety inspector when a boiler is found to be unsafe, presenting potential hazards to health or safety. The preliminary order serves as a formal notification and mandates that boiler operation be suspended until the necessary repairs or inspections have been completed to ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Using this terminology reflects the procedures established for maintaining safety standards and helps ensure that boilers, which can be dangerous if not properly maintained or operated, are managed according to legal and safety protocols. It emphasizes the importance of quick and decisive actions to prevent accidents or failures that might arise from faulty equipment. This differs from the other terms, which may not specifically pertain to a formal order designed to halt operations pending repairs.
