PSSR inspection, examination and certification in Wolverton

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

A works town runs on air: the compressors behind Wolverton's rail and engineering shops feed tools, test rigs and brake systems, storing energy in receivers that look ordinary and are anything but. PSSR 2000 treats every one of them as the pressure system it is.

PSSR examination and certification for Wolverton businesses

Rail workshop air has a particular shape: receivers close to the work, long pipe runs, and test points where brake systems are charged and proven. A Written Scheme of Examination here has to capture the whole system as installed, including the protective devices whose settings the safety case depends on.

The examination itself is unglamorous and vital: internal condition where the scheme requires it, relief devices proven, corrosion found while it is still a maintenance job. Systems that pass quietly are the point; the report gives you the dates and the evidence to keep it that way.

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.
