Pre-commissioning pressure systems

We can provide conformity assessment services to ensure compliancy, safety and efficiency of your new pressure system. We will conduct a full design and technical review of your plans before staged and a final inspection once the equipment build is completed.  

Post-commissioning pressure systems

Once pressure equipment has been turned on and is in use, it must be compliant with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR). Our experienced surveyors can conduct risk-based inspections to determine the safe operating limits of a piece of equipment and identify any risk areas. We also oversee repairs and modifications. 

PED Certification

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) is the EU standards for the design and fabrication of pressure equipment which is categorised as having over one litre in volume and a maximum pressure more than 0.5 bar gauge. We work internationally to provide EU certification where necessary (CE Marking).

We can provide CE Marking to confirm your assets conform with health, safety and environmental protection standards for market access in the EU. 

PE(S)R Certification

The Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulation requires all pressure equipment to be certified as safe for use before they can be placed on the UK market. Whatever the size or purpose of your pressure vessel, we can liaise with your team to attain this certification (UKCA Marking).
