PSSR examination and written scheme in Worksop

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

Two air receivers can look identical and deserve different examination intervals: one dry and lightly worked, one hammered by a damp compressor in a dusty yard. Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, a competent person sets Worksop's intervals by risk, not habit.

PSSR examination and certification for Worksop businesses

Pressure systems across the town's food plants, polymer operations and distribution workshops centre on compressed air, receivers, compressors, dryers and their pipework, with process steam where production needs it, all protected by relief valves and gauges that are part of each system in law.

Interval setting is a judgement PSSR entrusts to the competent person through the Written Scheme of Examination, weighing each vessel's condition, environment, duty and history. Copying last year's date forward, or inheriting a generic interval from a supplier's leaflet, is how systems drift onto cycles that fit nobody. We set intervals deliberately, vessel by vessel, record the reasoning in the scheme, certify it and examine to it, with every report issued within 28 days.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Worksop?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Worksop and the sites around it, examining receivers, steam and reasoned schemes. Call us to arrange a visit.
How soon can you examine a pressure system in Worksop?
We keep availability across Nottinghamshire, so a Worksop 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.
