A Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) is a legal document required under PSSR. It defines:

Procedures for safe operation and maintenance
No pressure system in Thanet should operate without a valid WSE. At Excel Inspection Solutions, we can create or review your Written Scheme of Examination as part of your inspection, ensuring complete compliance.
