Code-Compliant Safety Testing for Commercial & Multi-Unit Boiler Systems

CSD-1 (Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers) testing is a critical safety and code requirement for many commercial and multi-unit boiler systems. At Boiler & Plumbing Pros, we provide professional CSD-1 testing, verification, and documentation to ensure your boiler’s safety controls operate correctly and meet applicable code requirements.

Our licensed team works with property owners, landlords, facility managers, mechanical contractors, and inspectors to complete CSD-1 testing accurately, efficiently, and on schedule.

CSD-1 Boiler Safety: What You Need to Know

If your building has an automatically fired boiler, CSD-1 testing may be required for startup, inspections, or compliance. The sections below explain the purpose of CSD-1 testing and why proper verification is essential for safe operation.

  • CSD-1 is a safety standard that governs the controls and safety devices used on automatically fired boilers. CSD-1 testing verifies that these devices respond properly under required conditions and that the boiler will safely shut down if an unsafe situation occurs.

    CSD-1 testing is commonly required:

    • After a new boiler installation or replacement
    • Prior to initial startup
    • Following major repairs or control modifications
    • For permitting, inspections, or occupancy approval
    • When requested by an inspector, authority having jurisdiction, or insurance provider

    Proper testing confirms that the boiler is safe to operate and compliant with adopted codes.

  • CSD-1 testing involves a structured verification of boiler safety and control components. Depending on the system, testing may include:

    • Low-water cutoff operation and verification
    • Manual and automatic safety shutdown functions
    • Flame safeguard and burner control response
    • Pressure and temperature limit device testing
    • Gas shutoff valve and interlock verification
    • Control sequencing and lockout behavior
    • Alarm and safety circuit response

    All testing is performed according to applicable code requirements and manufacturer specifications.

  • CSD-1 testing is typically required for:

    • Commercial buildings
    • Apartment complexes and multi-unit properties
    • Mixed-use buildings
    • Schools and institutional facilities
    • Buildings with large or automatically fired boilers

    If you are unsure whether your boiler system requires CSD-1 testing, our team can review the system and help determine what is required before inspection or startup.

  • ✔ Confirms that safety devices function correctly
    ✔ Helps pass inspections and permitting requirements
    ✔ Reduces risk of unsafe boiler operation
    ✔ Supports insurance and compliance documentation
    ✔ Prevents delays during startup or occupancy approval

    Improper or incomplete testing can result in failed inspections, operational delays, or safety concerns. Professional testing ensures peace of mind and code compliance.
