PSSR Inspections – Pressure Systems
Statutory examinations of compressed air, steam and other pressure systems under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR).
We help businesses keep their pressure systems safe and compliant through thorough examinations, clear reporting, and practical recommendations. Our pressure systems engineers provide expert examinations and written schemes that meet HSE requirements.
What Is PSSR?
PSSR stands for the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000. These regulations apply where stored energy in a pressure system could cause injury if released unexpectedly. This includes systems containing compressed air, steam, and certain refrigeration or air-conditioning systems.
Under PSSR, duty holders must ensure that pressure systems are properly designed, maintained, and examined. A key requirement is having a written scheme of examination prepared or certified by a competent person, and ensuring examinations are carried out by a competent person at the intervals specified in the scheme.
The regulations aim to prevent serious accidents caused by the sudden release of stored energy, which can result in explosions, catastrophic failure, or injury to personnel. PSSR places clear responsibilities on those who install, modify, repair, or operate pressure systems.
Key Requirements
- A written scheme of examination prepared by a competent person
- Regular examinations by a competent person as per the scheme
- Proper installation, maintenance and record keeping
- Immediate action on identified defects and safety concerns
- Safe operating limits clearly defined and adhered to
