Compressed gas testing & inspection

PSSR, CP7 and compressed air inspections across the UK.

We inspect and test gas equipment, air compressors and pressure systems on your site, fix what fails, and give you the reports and certificates your insurer and HSE expect to see.

If you run a pressure system, PSSR applies to you.

Air compressors and receivers, gas pipework, manifolds and pressure vessels all need a written scheme of examination and regular testing by a competent person.

FAQ

Common questions.

How often do gas systems need testing?

Usually every 6 or 12 months, depending on the risk and on what your written scheme of examination says. Heavily used or high-risk systems are tested more often.

Does PSSR apply to my business?

If you use compressed air or compressed gases above 0.5 bar, for example an air compressor with a receiver, gas pipework or manifolds, PSSR very likely applies. Read more about PSSR.

What do CP7 and CP47 cover?

They are BCGA codes of practice. CP7 covers oxy-fuel equipment such as welding and cutting sets. CP47 covers portable and mobile cylinder gas supply equipment such as regulators and manifolds.

Is a CP7 inspection a legal requirement?

CP7 itself is industry guidance. The legal duty comes from PUWER 1998, which requires you to maintain and inspect work equipment. Following CP7 and CP47 is the recognised way to meet that duty. More about CP7.

My insurer already inspects our pressure systems. Do I still need you?

Often, yes. Insurers commonly carry out the statutory examination itself, but you still need a suitable Written Scheme of Examination, and you remain responsible for maintenance, repairs and records between examinations. We can prepare or update your scheme, carry out testing and maintenance, fix defects raised in the insurer's report and make sure you are ready for the next examination.

How is the work priced?

We give you a fixed quote based on how much equipment you have and the size of your site, so you know the cost before we start.

Do you provide RAMS and follow our site rules?

Yes. We provide risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) before work starts, and we follow your site's induction, permit-to-work and safety rules.

Where do you work?

We work UK-wide, from our offices in Glasgow and Darlington.
