Important Note:

Bodies who’s appointment has been suspended or terminated 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.
