Compliance

Due to the complexity of the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (2000) (PSSR), wholly understanding how to be compliant can sometimes be a difficult and confusing task. For those faced with being the duty holder of their pressure systems, it can be extremely frustrating. As experts in the field of low- and high-pressure compressors we help clients comply with PSSR requirements

PSSR demands that all pressure systems are designed and manufactured from suitable materials for the liquids and gases they will be holding. When these systems are installed, they must be suitable for the intended purpose and installed correctly, as well as made safe for operation.

Regular maintenance is also required under PSSR as well as regular formal examinations at specified time periods. The regulations state that during examination, all qualifying pressure systems must have a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) produced by a “competent person”.

A WSE is an official document written by a company with a ‘competent person’ that outlines the details of the pressure system and the inspection process. It can be amended to keep up with and reflect any changes in pressure systems to make sure they are safe, but all future inspections are legally required to follow the document. Again, Motivair is well placed to help clients produce and adhere to a WSE as part of our commitment and terms of engagement.
