PSSR examination and written scheme in Luton

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

Starting a jet engine takes serious air: air start units delivering high-pressure supply on demand, ground service carts holding pressure aircraft systems depend on. Around Luton's aviation support trades, that ground equipment sits inside the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, wheels or no wheels.

Pressure equipment we examine

PSSR examination and certification for Luton businesses

Pressure systems across the town run from air start units and ground service pressure equipment through workshop and hangar air to the receivers and protective devices of the estates.

Ground service pressure earns aviation-adjacent rigour: vessels and systems examined for duties that cycle hard and deliver fast, protective devices proven at the pressures engine starts genuinely demand, hoses, couplings and regulators judged as the system components they are, and the fixed-versus-transportable boundary stated honestly so nothing falls between regimes. Our Written Schemes name the service fleet's systems plainly, examinations respect their duty, and 28 day reports keep the equipment that starts aircraft properly certified itself.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Luton?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Luton and the sites around it, examining start units done with rigour. Call us to arrange a visit.

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.
