PSSR examination and written scheme in Beverley

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

Pressure plant in Beverley mostly works quietly: the compressor and receiver behind a workshop, steam equipment in food businesses and cleaners. Small is not exempt, because the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 cover steam at any pressure.

PSSR examination and certification for Beverley businesses

The systems around the town are typically modest: air receivers behind workshop and bodyshop compressors, small steam generators and steam using equipment in food and service businesses, and the relief valves and gauges protecting them. Modest, but squarely inside PSSR, which draws in steam at any pressure and other relevant fluids above the threshold.

The smallest systems are the ones most often unexamined, precisely because nobody thinks of a bench top steam generator or a single receiver as a pressure system. In law it is one, it needs a Written Scheme of Examination certified before use, examination to that scheme, and a report within 28 days like any plant room. We keep small system compliance proportionate: a right sized scheme, an efficient visit, the same defensible paperwork.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Beverley?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Beverley and the sites around it, examining small systems covered properly. Call us to arrange a visit.
How soon can you examine a pressure system in Beverley?
We keep availability across Yorkshire, so a Beverley visit is often the same or next working day, 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.
