Why are pressure vessel inspections required?
Pressure vessel inspections are a statutory requirement. They can prevent the possibility of leaks or explosions, and protect you, your team or your patients from serious harm.
It’s important to have your autoclaves or air receivers inspected regularly by an experienced engineer. We offer this comprehensive service to ensure safety within your practice, without breaching any warranties you may already have in place.
Important notice
It is important that you have a fully documented maintenance and service plan on site, which must be made available to our engineer. If this is not available then you will have to open the vessel (at your own expense) to allow our engineer to complete a more thorough examination. Similarly, if our engineer is in any way dissatisfied with the maintenance in force then they will expect the vessel to be opened – again, at your expense.
How much does this cost?
- Inspection: £255 + VAT
- These prices are subject to an additional £25 administration fee.
