PSSR examination and written scheme in Leamington Spa

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

A venue economy runs on small pressure vessels: espresso machines cycling all day, catering boilers behind every busy kitchen, the compressor in the back of house. In Leamington Spa, the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 reach places that have never heard of them.

Pressure equipment we examine

PSSR examination and certification for Leamington Spa businesses

Pressure systems across the town run from catering boilers and espresso plant in hospitality through small commercial air systems to the workshop compressors and receivers of the estates.

Hospitality vessels cross PSSR thresholds more often than owners expect: steam and pressure-hot-water plant is squarely relevant, larger coffee and catering boilers qualify on the arithmetic, and the service engineer's visits, however regular, are not the statutory examination. We bring venue plant into proportionate compliance, the scope arithmetic done honestly so nothing is sold that is not needed, Written Schemes sized to small systems, examinations timed around service hours, and 28 day reports that satisfy an insurer, a licensing check and an EHO alike.

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.
