PSSR examination and certification in Huddersfield

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

Huddersfield's machining and manufacturing shops run compressed air and steam behind their production, and the duty does not end when a system is examined. Wherever a system holds steam or a fluid under pressure, PSSR 2000 applies, records and all.

PSSR examination and certification for Huddersfield businesses

A pressure system in a manufacturing setting takes in compressors and air receivers, steam and process plant, the pipework, and the protective devices that keep them safe. All of it can fall within scope.

After the examination comes the part that proves it. The report of examination follows within twenty-eight days, setting out the system's condition, any defect and the date of the next examination, and the duty holder has to keep the current written scheme and the most recent report and act on every finding. A clean set of records is what shows an inspector or insurer that each system is in date and looked after. We examine each system to its scheme, report within the time the law allows, and leave records that map cleanly to your plant.

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.
