- Written_scheme_of_examination abstract "The UK Health and Safety Executive Written schemes of examination Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 states the following (which is the webfriendly version of leaflet INDG178(rev1) )."The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 came into force on 21 February 2000. Users and owners of pressure systems are required to demonstrate that Written schemes of examination they know the safe operating limits, principally pressure and temperature, of their pressure systems, and that the systems are safe under those conditions. They need to ensure that a suitable written scheme of examination is in place before the system is operated. They also need to ensure that the pressure system is actually examined in accordance with the written scheme of examination. Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 This document complements the free HSE leaflet Pressure systems: Safety and you. It provides guidance on drafting written schemes of examination, but it cannot cover all relevant aspects of the Regulations. The ‘Further information’ section at the end of the document lists more detailed guidance, or you can contact your local Health and Safety Executive office or Local Authority Environmental Health Department. What is a written scheme of examination? 02/02A written scheme of examination is a document containing information about selected items of plant or equipment which form a pressure system, operate under pressure and contain a ‘relevant fluid’. The term relevant fluid is defined in the Regulations and covers compressed or liquefied gas, including air, at a pressure greater than 0.5 bar (approximately 7 psi) above atmospheric pressure; pressurised hot water above 110 °C; and steam at any pressure. Typical contents of a written scheme of examination include:identification of the items of plant or equipment within the system;those parts of the system which are to be examined;the nature of the examination required, including the inspection and testing to be carried out on any protective devices;the preparatory work needed for the item to be examined safely;where appropriate, the nature of any examination needed before the system is first used;the maximum interval between examinations;the critical parts of the system which, if modified or repaired, should be examined by a competent person before the system is used again;the name of the competent person certifying the written scheme of examination;the date of certification.How do I draw up a written scheme of examination?First, look around your workplace and decide which items of plant or equipment operate under pressure and form a pressure system.Next, follow the steps described in the HSE leaflet Pressure systems: Safety and you.Then, check the exceptions to the Regulations, since you may find your particular pressure system does not require a written scheme of examination at all. For example, you do not normally need to include the compressor associated with an air receiver in the scheme of examination. To see if any of your plant or equipment is an exception under the Regulations, the best place to look first is in Safety of pressure systems. Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000. Approved Code of Practice (see ‘Further information’ for details).Which items of plant should I include in the written scheme of examination?An item of plant from the pressure system should be included in a written scheme of examination if its failure could unintentionally release pressure from the system and the resulting release of stored energy could cause injury. Each system is likely to be unique, but the following questions may help users to arrive at some decisions:Do the manufacturers of the plant or equipment forming the pressure system give guidance, instruction and the precautions to take for safe operation of the system?Could failure of any part of the pressure system cause someone in the vicinity to be injured by the release of pressure, fragments or steam?Does the pressure system contain any protective devices?If the answer to any of these questions is ‘Yes’, then those items of plant may need to be included in the written scheme of examination.What types of typical pressurised systems might require a written scheme of examination?The following pressurised systems are likely to require a written scheme of examination:a compressed air receiver and the associated pipework, where the product of the pressure in bars multiplied by the internal capacity in litres of the receiver is equal to or greater than 250 bar litres;a steam sterilising autoclave and associated pipework and protective devices;a steam boiler and associated pipework and protective devices;a pressure cooker;a gas loaded hydraulic accumulator;a vapour-compression refrigeration system where the installed power exceeds 25 kW;a narrow gauge steam locomotive;the components of selfcontained breathing apparatus sets (excluding the gas container);a fixed LPG storage system, supplying fuel for heating in a workplace."Note the above information falls under the HSE terms and conditions of © Crown copyright This publication may be freely reproduced, except for advertising, endorsement or commercial purposes.
