PSSR inspection, examination and certification in High Wycombe

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

Behind every CNC router and finishing line in High Wycombe's furniture and fabrication units sits compressed air doing the quiet work: clamping, spraying, blowing down and feeding tools from receivers that put the workshop squarely inside PSSR 2000.

PSSR examination and certification for High Wycombe businesses

Machine-shop air has a habit of growing: a receiver added for the router, another buffering the finishing line, small vessels scattered where pressure needed steadying. Each addition changes the installed system, and the Written Scheme of Examination has to keep describing what actually exists, small vessels included, or it certifies a fiction.

Wood-rich environments add their own examination angle: fine dust finds compressor intakes, moisture and oil carryover find low points, and receivers in dusty corners corrode from the outside as well as in. Caught on cycle these are maintenance notes; missed, they are the failures the regulation exists to prevent.

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.
