Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pressure systems require PSSR inspection across Greater Manchester?
The most commonly inspected pressure systems across Greater Manchester include compressed air receivers and associated pipework at manufacturing, logistics, and engineering sites; steam boilers and heat exchangers at food production facilities on Trafford Park; autoclaves and sterilisation pressure vessels at NHS hospitals including Salford Royal, Tameside General, and Stepping Hill; hot water systems exceeding PSSR 2000's threshold at large commercial and industrial properties; and process pressure vessels at chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers. A Written Scheme of Examination must be prepared by a competent person for each system, specifying the examination intervals and the scope of each examination.
How does a Greater Manchester business establish whether its compressed air system needs a PSSR Written Scheme?
A compressed air system requires a Written Scheme of Examination under PSSR 2000 if it consists of a pressure vessel (air receiver) together with associated pipework where the product of the pressure in bar and the internal volume in litres exceeds 250 bar litres. In practice, this threshold is reached by almost all industrial air receivers. For a typical 270-litre air receiver operating at 10 bar — common across Greater Manchester's manufacturing and logistics sites — the product is 2,700 bar litres, well above the threshold. Safe-Lee can assess whether your compressed air system falls within the scope of PSSR 2000 and prepare or review your Written Scheme.
