The standard emphasizes the importance of considering the potential risks associated with the use of NBIC in boilers and pressure vessels, and outlines the necessary safety measures to mitigate these risks. It also encourages the use of NBIC to improve the efficiency and performance of boilers and pressure vessels, while maintaining their safety.

It provides guidelines and requirements for the safe use of NBIC in the design and manufacture of boilers and pressure vessels, ensuring their reliable operation and preventing accidents.
