Pressure Vessel Inspection

Our services include Pressure Vessel Inspection (PVI) for Surgery compressors and periodical validation of autoclaves with a detailed written scheme of examination and certification. Testing is in accordance to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER).

The term ‘Pressure Vessel’ is a general term used by Health and Safety to describe compressors, autoclaves and their associated pipe work and safety devices.

The safe operation, maintenance and servicing of these units is essential to the efficient running of the practice which forms the basis of compliance to the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1992.

All autoclaves and compressors must have a Written Scheme of Examination prepared for each vessel by a competent person.
Employers must ensure that all work equipment is safe and in good working condition.
Each vessel must be inspected at regular intervals as specified on the Written Scheme of Examination.
A written report must be provided at each inspection detailing the condition of the vessel/s.
Each vessel must be serviced and maintained in accordance with the Manufacturers recommendations.
Records of servicing and inspection must be kept.
All members of staff must be fully trained in the operation of autoclaves prior to use.

X-ray equipment supply and installation

The Guidance Notes for Dental Practitioners on the Safe Use of X-Ray equipment states that “It is recommended that routine tests normally be carried out every 3 years”. The Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 (IRR99) states that X-Ray equipment “be properly maintained so that it remains fit for the purpose for which it was intended” and “be adequately tested and examined at appropriate intervals”.

Inspections are performed on-site using our own Test Equipment and our RPA will provide a full written report.

Inspection includes a mechanical and electrical safety service check.

We will send you a reminder when your next test is due.
