PSSR inspection, examination and certification in Bletchley

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

Multiply the industrial units along Bletchley's estates by the compressor humming in the corner of each, and you get the town's real pressure estate: dozens of modest air receivers, tyre-bay systems and workshop sets, each owner assuming theirs is too small to count.

PSSR examination and certification for Bletchley businesses

The 250 bar litre threshold catches far more workshop air systems than owners expect: a common 200 to 300 litre receiver at normal working pressure clears it comfortably, which brings a certified Written Scheme of Examination and periodic examination with it. The estate pattern means the duty repeats unit by unit, tenant by tenant.

We examine small systems for what actually fails them: condensate corrosion at the receiver base from skipped draining, relief valves that have never lifted, gauges reading wrong at exactly the pressures that matter. One visit can cover several neighbouring units where tenants coordinate, which keeps the cost sensible.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Bletchley?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Bletchley and its estates, examining workshop air systems and certifying written schemes unit by unit. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Bletchley?

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.
