Pressure Systems Safety Regulations
PSSR (Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000) examination requirements mandate that pressure systems be examined by a competent person in accordance with a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE). This includes examinations before the system is use for the first time, regular periodic examinations, and thorough examinations to identify potential hazards. The frequency of examinations is determined by the WSE and can vary depending on the system type, risk level, location and the contents of the system.
The pressure systems safety regulations deal with a plant containing a ‘relevant fluid’, which is defined by the regulations as:
Plants not containing a ‘relevant fluid’ are still subject to certain regulations, for example, The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). Our team can advise on the best approach to maximise your examinations.
