PSSR Testing for Commercial Coffee Machines
Ensuring Compliance with Pressure System Safety Regulations
If you own or operate a commercial coffee machine covered by the Pressure System Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR), it’s your legal responsibility to ensure compliance. Machines using pressurized vessels, such as Bean to Cup and Traditional Espresso Machines, must undergo regular Pressure System Examinations (also known as boiler inspections or pressure tests).
Scobie McIntosh PSSR Testing Services
Our specialist coffee engineers assist owners of coffee machines in complying with PSSR by:
- Providing and certifying a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE).
- Carrying out the examinations specified.
- Issuing the resultant statutory reports.
Expertise and Convenience
Our engineers are experts in maintenance and perform PSSR testing on most major brands of coffee machines. They are IOSH trained by Coffeesafe on self-certification PSSR, so can carry out full PSSR testing and issue examination reports without the need for a third-party insurance inspector. This dual approach offers significant savings by eliminating the need to coordinate inspector visits and reducing certification costs per machine.
Partnering with Coffeesafe Approved Inspections, we ensure your equipment remains compliant and operational.
What is PSSR?
The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 are designed to prevent serious injuries resulting from the unintentional release of stored energy and the scalding effects of steam. To comply, your coffee machine requires a Pressure System Examination in accordance with a certified Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) issued by a competent person.
