PSSR examination and written scheme in Goole

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

New plant rooms are being commissioned around Goole faster than anywhere in the East Riding, and the rule that matters most comes first: under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, a system may not operate until its written scheme is certified.

PSSR examination and certification for Goole businesses

Pressure systems across the town's newer plants and older port estate alike take in compressed air installations, steam where processes need heat, and the vessels, relief valves and pipework that make up each system in law. On a new installation the sequence is fixed: scheme first, certified by a competent person, then examination to that scheme, with every report delivered within 28 days.

Commissioning is exactly when this discipline is easiest and most often skipped. The installer hands over, production wants the air on, and the Written Scheme of Examination becomes a job for later, except the law says it comes before first use. We prepare and certify schemes for new installations as part of bringing them into service, then examine to them on the intervals the scheme sets, so a new plant starts compliant instead of catching up.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Goole?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Goole and the sites around it, examining new installations and established systems. Call us to arrange a visit.
How soon can you examine a pressure system in Goole?
We keep availability across Yorkshire, so a Goole 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.
