PSSR examination and written scheme in Milton Keynes

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

Guarding a server hall is a bank of cylinders: gas suppression systems holding inert or clean agent at serious pressure, plumbed and waiting for the fire everyone hopes never comes. Around Milton Keynes's data and technology estates, those installations sit inside the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000.

PSSR examination and certification for Milton Keynes businesses

Pressure systems across the city run from gas suppression installations, cylinder banks, manifolds and distribution, through plant and workshop air to the receivers of the estates.

Suppression systems are examined without compromising their purpose: cylinder banks proven as the high-pressure storage they are, manifolds, actuation lines and distribution judged as system pipework, pressure monitoring read as the health signal it provides, and every examination coordinated so fire protection readiness is never dented by the inspection meant to assure the pressure side. Our Written Schemes name suppression installations plainly, examinations respect the dual duty, and 28 day reports satisfy insurer and fire engineer alike.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

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.
