Keep the pressure-system file separate from the hire condition record
Keep written scheme of examination sources, identifiers and supplied scope distinct from hire condition photographs. Practical documentation examples for rental teams.

What to know
- Keep the written scheme of examination and condition record separately attributable.
- Preserve the source, identity and scope exactly as supplied.
- Mark a missing or mismatched reference as unresolved.
A written scheme reference and an examination report reference can sit in the same pressure-equipment file without being the same document. Label them separately. A handover photograph then remains a condition observation connected to the named asset.
Identify which document the colleague supplied
Use the document’s own title and revision to distinguish a scheme from a report or a general manual. Keep the equipment scope as written. If only a reference number has been supplied, record that limitation rather than describing a document your team has not opened.
The Great Britain source used for this note is HSE’s Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR). Use that source for its own guidance and context. The filing format below is an editorial suggestion for keeping supplied records attributable; it does not reproduce a legal test, technical procedure or operating decision.
A suggested documentation note
- Document title, reference, author and revision.
- Pressure-equipment or system scope written in the document.
- Received copy or access reference, with any missing document noted.
Follow the references through a fictional file
In a fictional file for SYSTEM-P, a colleague supplies SCHEME-P but no examination report. The coordinator records the supplied scheme and leaves the report request open. The hire-out photographs are linked separately and do not fill the missing document slot.
The condition record in AuditIt
For the condition photographs, AuditIt’s equipment checkout-and-return starter compares two stages. Equipment damage and pre-hire starters are single-visit records. These equipment workflows sit within the wider catalog.
Connect the condition record to the supplied written scheme of examination through a document reference or a separately labeled note. The proposed fields above are editorial suggestions, not a claim that those fields are shipped defaults. The equipment checkout-and-return guide describes the existing condition workflow; explore AuditIt if it fits your process.
AuditIt creates tamper-evident, human-review-ready records. It is not legal certification and does not determine liability. Keep any technical or legal decision attributable to its own evidence and the appropriate reviewer.

Frequently asked questions
How should a scheme and a report be labeled?
Use their supplied titles and separate references. Preserve each document’s author, revision and equipment scope so a reviewer can identify what is actually present.
What if I have a reference number but no copy?
Record the reference as supplied and mark the copy or access as outstanding. Avoid summarizing contents that have not been opened.
