Notes

The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) in conjunction with the UKAS Technical Advisory Committee for Engineering Inspection have set out guidance (listed below) in order to meet those requirements in BS EN ISO/IEC 17020 (general criteria for the operation of various types of inspection bodies performing inspection) which meet interpretation when applied by inspection bodies carrying out in-service inspection of pressure Systems/pressure Equipment. Staff carrying out inspections of pressure systems/ pressure equipment must have the necessary competence for the inspection being carried out. LR will maintain records of qualification, training and experience records

Chartered Engineer as defined by the Engineering Council or equivalent (e.g. appropriate degree with relevant experience, NVQ Level V Engineering Surveying) including at least 3 years experience within an engineering discipline associated with in-service inspection of pressure systems.

Incorporated Engineer as defined by Engineering Council or equivalent (e.g. appropriate HNC with relevant experience, NVQ Level IV Surveying Engineering) including at least 5 years experience within a relevant engineering discipline of which at least one year** shall have been spent working within an engineering discipline associated with in-service inspection of pressure systems.

New starts Engineering Technician as defined by Engineering Council or equivalent (eg appropriate ONC with relevant experience, NVQ Level III) having a minimum of 5 years experience within a relevant discipline of which at least one year shall have been spent working within an engineering discipline associated with the in service inspection of pressure systems.Person employed prior to the date of application for accreditation in the in-service inspection of pressure systems with less than Incorporated Engineer qualification but meeting the criteria of Category 4.

Definition of supervision

* Persons in Categories 4(b) and 5 shall pass a qualifying test, established by the Inspection Body, associated with the particular inspection activities relating to pressure systems /equipment and this should cover relevant knowledge of the law, codes of practice and inspection techniques. ** Where a person meets the minimum requirement for a specific discipline and is to be trained in a second discipline, it may not be necessary to have experience of at least one year in the second discipline provided that the required competence can be demonstrated.***For some routine, well-monitored activities this period may not be necessary.

Description of lifting equipment

Powered Lifting Appliances


Formal, direct contact to review work with Supervisor at least annually. More frequent direct contact with Supervisor may be necessary. Authoritative technical support from personnel qualified to Category 1 or 2 to be readily available. For example, an Inspector working from home who has little direct contact with his Head Office.

Direct contact with Supervisor at least weekly. Authoritative technical support from personnel qualified to Category 1, 2 or 3. For example, an Inspector whose work is based from a depot or office where the Supervisor is available.

Direct daily contact with Supervisor. Technical support from persons qualified to Category 1, 2, 3 or 4 to be readily available. For example an inspector working within a factory environment under direct control of the Supervisor.

Definitions of major, intermediate and minor pressure systems are given in HSE's Approved Code of Practice Reference L122, which accompanies PSSR


Lifting Accessories

Classification of Lifting Equipment

Work Experience

Powered lifting appliances cover a wide range of appliances used for lifting and mean any stationary or mobile appliance including attachments for anchoring, fixing or supporting that appliance, which is operated by means of motive power. e.g., electric, hydraulic or pneumatic or other powered means.

Manual lifting appliances cover a wide range of appliances used for lifting and mean any stationary or mobile appliance including attachments for anchoring, fixing or supporting that appliance which is operated solely by means of the operator without any powered assistance.

Lifting Accessory covers the whole range of equipment used for attaching loads to Lifting Appliances
