Are you wondering how to obtain a Written Scheme of Examination?

Obtaining a Written Scheme of Examination is remarkably simple and hassle-free. Once you have enlisted the expertise of a qualified individual to draft and conduct the Written Scheme of Examination (WSE), the next step is straightforward. This capable individual will personally visit your premises and meticulously identify, inspect, and thoroughly test all the safety-related equipment within your compressed air system.

Typically, the stage of identification can be successfully accomplished while the system is in operation, as outlined in the Written Scheme of Examination. Typically, the inspection or testing can only take place when the system is completely drained and not in operation, as stipulated by the Written Scheme of Examination.

How can one successfully accomplish the completion of a Written Scheme of Examination?

There is a series of essential steps involved in successfully accomplishing a Written Scheme of Examination. Please adhere to the structure provided below, although the specific details may differ depending on the extent, intricacy, and magnitude of the entire compressed air system.

Make sure to document all safety devices – The initial action is to thoroughly document all safety devices within your existing compressed air system. You have the option to complete this task by creating a sketch or organizing the information into a written list or table format. The Written Scheme of Examination contains a wide range of essential equipment including pressure vessels, safety valves, ball valves, pressure gauges, and various other crucial items.

Ensure the preservation of vital information – Capture the serial numbers of each item and securely tag them for effortless identification in the future.

Compose the Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) document – Now, it is crucial to assemble the WSE document. This comprehensive document, known as the Written Scheme of Examination, carefully outlines and illustrates every element discussed earlier. Notably, it includes a diagrammatic representation of your system, encompassing a detailed inventory of all labeled components and their specific placements in relation to one another. The Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) document will also incorporate specific time intervals for re-inspection of each product category, along with the possibility of incorporating additional certification and testing procedures.

Ensure the accomplishment of the operation test and safety inspection – The crucial last step involves carrying out a thorough operation test and safety inspection for all the aforementioned safety-related elements as outlined in the Written Scheme of Examination. Once all the necessary tasks have been diligently accomplished and each element has successfully undergone thorough testing, the Written Scheme of Examination attains its state of completion.

The completion order of the above items may vary based on the magnitude, intricacy, and dimensions of the entire compressed air system. However, it is crucial to adhere to the Written Scheme of Examination to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.

Once the Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) has been finalized, it remains valid until the subsequent re-inspection cycle.

If any modifications are made to the compressed air system, such as the addition of another receiver or another branch of pipework, it is crucial to update the Written Scheme of Examination to reflect these changes. Furthermore, it is essential to record, tag, and inspect the new safety-related items, ensuring that they align with the existing equipment. This meticulous approach guarantees the harmonization of all components within the system and enhances overall safety measures.
