Pressure Vessel Inspection

Pressure Vessel Inspections (PVI’s) must be carried out in accordance with Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR 2000) which is a legal requirement. The aim of PSSR is 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.
Dental air compressors are high-risk equipment. It is essential that compressor equipment is periodically examined and certified that is is suitable for continued use. More information can be found here: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pressure-systems/law.htm#regs2000
