The following safety rules are required of Steam owners/operators
wishing to operate at any EDGE&TA sponsored events.

1. All current members within EDGE&TA owning Steam Traction Engines, Stationary Steam Boilers, Portable Steam Boilers, scale model operating on Steam must comply with all applicable state laws relating to steam in the state the boiler is exhibited. All boilers shall have a current State Inspection Certificate and the operator shall have a current Steam Operators license in those states that require it.

2. If your home state does not require your steam equipment to be state certified, a certification from an independent licensed boiler inspector located in your state and licensed to do inspections is acceptable. If your home state does not require you to have an Steam Operators license, it is recommended that you attend one of the Steam Schools offered through out the country and obtain a license in that state, or obtain the National license that is currently being offered. Contact one of the EDGETA directors on the steam committee if you have any questions.

3. Branches of EDGE&TA that are hosting EDGE&TA National, EDGE&TA Regional or EDGE&TA Branch home shows may require proof of certification from the owner (member) of steam equipment before allowing it to be fired at the show. Any owner (member) not in compliance with the Rules will be asked not to fire until such proof is provided.
