PSSR examination and written scheme in Long Eaton

Written Schemes of Examination and certified pressure system examinations by an independent competent person

Behind every airline on a Long Eaton furniture floor sits the part nobody looks at: the receiver. Tucked under a bench or boxed in a corner, it is a pressure vessel in law, and the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 apply to it in full.

PSSR examination and certification for Long Eaton businesses

Pressure systems across the town's workshops and factories are dominated by exactly this quiet kit: compressors and their receivers feeding the air tools of the upholstery trade, the safety valves and gauges protecting them, and the fixed pipework that carries the air to the benches.

The hidden receiver is dangerous precisely because it is invisible. A vessel that has sat behind the same panel for fifteen years, never drained, never examined, is exactly the component PSSR exists for, and 'we did not know it counted' is not a defence the regulations recognise. We find what is actually installed, prepare and certify a Written Scheme of Examination that covers it, examine to that scheme and report within 28 days, so the vessel powering your floor is proven rather than presumed.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Long Eaton?

What is a Written Scheme of Examination, and do I need one?
It is the legal document at the heart of PSSR: a scheme drawn up and certified by a competent person that sets out which parts of a pressure system are examined, how, and how often. A system within scope must not be operated without one, and the HSE sets the minimum content in its pressure systems guidance.
Is PSSR a legal requirement, and what does it cover?
Yes. PSSR 2000 applies to systems holding steam at any pressure, or other fluids above roughly 250 bar litres, so steam boilers, air receivers, compressors, autoclaves and many process vessels are caught. The duty sits with the user of an installed system or the owner of a mobile one.
How often must a pressure system be examined?
There is no single interval fixed in law. The competent person sets the frequency for each item in the Written Scheme of Examination, judged on the system, its contents and its duty, with many items examined around every 12 months. The examination report is issued within 28 days and carries the next due date.
Who can be the competent person for PSSR?
Someone with the right combination of training, skill, experience and knowledge for the system in question, and independent enough to judge it fairly. The competent person both draws up or certifies the scheme and carries out the examinations it sets.
Does servicing the equipment count as a PSSR examination?
No. A PSSR examination is a formal statutory examination of the system's integrity against its written scheme, and it is separate from routine maintenance. Maintenance keeps a system running; it does not satisfy the legal duty to examine it.
What happens if the examination finds a defect?
The report records the defect, any limit on continued use and the date the next examination is due. Where the competent person finds a risk of imminent danger, the system must be taken out of use at once and the enforcing authority notified, so a problem is acted on rather than filed.
