The following inspection bodies have been appointed to undertake various functions in connection with the inspection of tanks and/or pressure equipment under The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 (as amended) and The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 (as amended).
Bodies currently appointed to inspect TANKS (including pressure and vacuum tanks)
Bodies currently appointed to inspect PRESSURE EQUIPMENT
Bodies who are NO LONGER APPOINTED but who have previously held appointment*
Important Note:
Bodies which are no longer appointed are identified here because tanks and pressure equipment inspected by them during the period of their appointment are still likely to be in service. Unless otherwise noted, inspection certificates issued by these bodies during the term of their appointment are valid until the next normal inspection date of the tank or pressure equipment concerned.
The scope and extent of any appointee’s capability should be established by reference to their UKAS schedule of accreditation and/or directly with the body concerned.
