PSSR examination and written scheme in Coalville

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

A compressor on wheels is still a pressure system: the tow-behind unit on hire, the skid compressor moving between jobs, the portable receiver in the fitter's van. The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 follow mobile plant wherever it parks, and around Coalville's estates it parks everywhere.

PSSR examination and certification for Coalville businesses

Pressure systems across the town run from fixed production and workshop air installations to the mobile population: hired and owned portable compressors, site receivers and the protective devices and hoses that travel with them.

Mobile systems flip the duty: for installed plant the user carries the core PSSR obligations, for mobile plant the owner does, which is why hired kit should arrive with its Written Scheme and current examination and why owned mobile plant needs its own programme rather than an assumption that somebody else is dealing with it. We examine mobile and fixed systems alike, check hired kit's paperwork as part of the visit, and report within 28 days with each report addressed to the duty the law actually assigns.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Coalville?

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.
