Pressure systems

The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) cover the safe design and use of pressure systems and aim to prevent serious injury from the hazard of stored energy (pressure) as a result of the failure of a pressure system or one of its component parts. The PSSR ACOP and guidance (L122) is aimed at duty-holders who are involved with pressure systems used at work: users, owners, competent persons, designers, manufacturers, importers, suppliers and installers of pressure systems used at work.
