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
Qualification RG2 categories

appropriate degree with relevant experience, NVQ Level V Engineering Surveying)
including at least 3 years experience within an engineering discipline associated with inservice 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.
Engineering Technician as defined by Engineering Council or equivalent (e.g.
appropriate ONC with relevant experience) 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 trained* in a relevant engineering discipline with a recognised and documented
engineering apprenticeship with 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 inspection of
pressure systems with less than tradesman's apprenticeship but with a minimum of 5
years*** spent working with or within the industry associated with pressure systems and
has general knowledge of pressure systems and its operating environment. Personnel
shall be placed on recognised training courses with appropriate documented tests in inservice inspection of pressure systems. The minimum age for this Category is 21 years.
Notes
* 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.

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

Classification of Lifting Equipment

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
