PSSR examination and written scheme in Norwich

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

Behind every ward and treatment room runs a quiet pressure system: bulk oxygen installations, manifold rooms and pipelines delivering medical gas to the point of care. Around Norwich's healthcare estates, those systems sit inside the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, alongside their clinical standards.

PSSR examination and certification for Norwich businesses

Pressure systems across the city run from medical gas installations, bulk storage, manifolds and distribution, through plant steam and compressed air to the receivers and protective devices of the estates.

Medical gas earns dual-discipline examination: vessels and manifolds examined as the pressure plant they legally are, protective devices proven without ever interrupting a supply patients are breathing, distribution judged as system pipework with clinical consequences, and every intervention planned with the estates team so examination never competes with care. Our Written Schemes name the medical gas estate plainly, examinations respect both regimes, and 28 day reports read correctly to engineers and healthcare compliance alike.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Norwich?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Norwich and the sites around it, examining examined around clinical continuity. 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.
