Why Pressure Testing is Important
Pressure testing is essential for both safety and legal compliance:
- Boilers that aren't tested often can invalidate your insurance if there's an accident.
- Even small espresso machines may cause serious damage, injury, or death if not correctly maintained.
- Regular coffee machine pressure testing keeps your equipment working efficiently and can reduce costly repairs and downtime.
- All commercial espresso machine compliance checks are enforced under PSSR by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), giving you peace of mind for your staff, customers, and business.
Legal Requirements for Pressure Vessels that Produce Steam
- Inspection Frequency: Boilers must be inspected at least every 14 months.
- Written Scheme of Examination (WSE): Every inspection must follow a certified WSE, created by a qualified engineer.
- Competent Person Requirement: Only a legally defined Competent Person can certify a WSE
- Record Keeping: Test records must be held externally and readily accessible for audits.
- Liability: Failure to comply can leave business owners personally liable, regardless of any insurance provision.
Meeting these legal standards keeps your business safe, compliant, and protected against the risk of penalties.
Why Use a Certified, Accredited Technician for Coffee Machine Inspections?

PSSR, HSWA, and Your Responsibility as an Employer
PSSR is part of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA), which places a clear duty on all employers to safeguard their staff and customers.
Compliance with PSSR coffee machine testing is a critical part of fulfilling this duty. Failing to follow regulations can lead to enforcement action or prosecution.
HSE Guidance Highlights:
“Pressure Systems Safety Regulations are legal requirements designed to protect people from the risks of pressure equipment failure.”
“Insurance does not replace the need for compliance.”
What's Not Included in a General Service
A standard coffee machine service does not include PSSR pressure testing. Complete PSSR coffee machine testing requires:
- A Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) created by a qualified Competent Person.
- Pressure tests conducted in accordance with that scheme.
- A compliance report issued by a certified inspection body.
Protect your business, your staff, and your equipment by ensuring you book dedicated certified coffee machine inspections as required.
