PSSR Compliance
Comprehensive compliance programmes for the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000.
A complete PSSR service.
The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) apply to workplaces where pressure systems are installed and used. Pressure systems require a written scheme of examination prepared by a competent person, and regular examination in accordance with that scheme, dependent on the size and relevant fluid in the system, and proper maintenance records.
Maxaura provides a complete PSSR compliance service. Our experienced engineers act as your competent person, preparing written schemes of examination that are practical, proportionate and cost-effective. We manage the full inspection cycle, ensuring your systems remain compliant with PSSR Regulation 7, 8 and 9.
