PSSR examination and written scheme in Daventry

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

A national operator with plant in a dozen towns usually has a dozen styles of pressure paperwork, and Daventry hosts plenty of head offices wearing that headache. The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 are easier to run, and to audit, on one standard applied everywhere.

PSSR examination and certification for Daventry businesses

Pressure systems across the town and the multi-site operations run from it span workshop air, production plant and the receivers of depots and warehouses, each site historically schemed and examined by whoever was nearest.

Fleet standardisation pays where compliance meets audit: one Written Scheme format across every site, one defect grading language, one renewal calendar visible from the centre, so a compliance manager can answer for forty receivers as easily as four. We build exactly that for multi-site operators, schemes certified to a single standard, examinations coordinated across locations, reports within 28 days into one filing structure, while each system is still examined on its own merits and its own intervals.

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.
