• 
  
  Provide adequate operating instructions to ensure the safe operation of the system
  
  
• 
  
  Provide adequate emergency instructions
  
  
• 
  
  Ensure that the system is properly maintained
  
  
• 
  
  Keep adequate records of the most recent examination and any manufacturer’s records supplied with the new system for the designated period in line with the regulations
  
  
  
  

What if you rent a vessel from BOC?

If you rent a pressurised cryogenic vessel from BOC, you can relax.

All maintenance required under Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 is included in the rental agreement with BOC at no additional cost – ensuring the vessel is always in safe working condition. Our local BOC Cryospeed Sales and Service Operators will carry out the required Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) inspections in line with the Written Scheme of Examination (WSE)for that particular vessel including the fitting of any replacement parts.

What if you own your vessel?

If you own your own cryogenic vessel, you must ensure that Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 are conformed to

and managed by a competent person. You can do it yourself...

...Or BOC Cryospeed can do it for you with one of two maintenance packages:

BOC Cryocare - for pressure vessels up to and including 500 litres capacity
