PSSR examination and written scheme in Warrington

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

Some Warrington product travels by air on purpose: pneumatic conveying systems blowing and pulling powders and granules between silos, vessels and lines. Blowers, transporter vessels and their receivers hold pressure to do it, and the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 read the conveying plant as the system it is.

PSSR examination and certification for Warrington businesses

Pressure systems across the town run from pneumatic conveying installations, blowers, transporter vessels, receivers and filters, through production and workshop air to the protective devices of the estates.

Conveying systems earn their own examination logic: transporter and blow vessels cycling pressure with every batch, abrasive product wearing bends and vessels from the inside where nobody sees, filters and receivers taking the system's dust as well as its pressure, and relief arrangements proven for lines that block by nature. Our Written Schemes name the conveying plant explicitly, examinations judge internal wear where product actually bites, and 28 day reports describe the system that moves the powder, not just the compressor that feeds it.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Warrington?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Warrington and the sites around it, examining conveying plant schemed properly. Call us to arrange a visit.
How soon can you examine a pressure system in Warrington?
We keep availability across Cheshire, so a Warrington visit is usually within a couple of working days, sooner when a system is waiting on its examination before use. Call 0330 043 8191 to book.
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.
