Pressure Vessel Inspection & Compliance Services – Queensland & Australia-Wide
Pressure vessels are regulated items of plant in Queensland and must be inspected, assessed, and certified to meet safety and compliance obligations. Black Square Engineering provides RPEQ-led pressure vessel inspection and compliance services for industrial operators, workshops, manufacturers, and asset owners across Queensland.
​
We support clients with inspection, design verification, registration advice, and certification in accordance with AS 1210, AS 4343, and relevant Queensland WHS requirements — ensuring equipment is safe, compliant, and fit for service.
What We Inspect and Certify
Black Square Engineering provides inspection and engineering support for a wide range of pressure equipment, including:
-
Pressure vessels and receivers
-
Air compressors and compressed air systems
-
Boilers and steam systems
-
Gas storage vessels
-
Custom fabricated pressure equipment
-
Modified or repaired vessels requiring reassessment
Our inspections are conducted by qualified engineers with a clear understanding of regulatory obligations and practical operational constraints.
Applicable Standards and Queensland Requirements
Pressure vessels in Queensland are subject to specific legislative and technical requirements. Our work typically references:
-
AS 1210 – Pressure Vessels
-
AS 4343 – Pressure Equipment – Hazard Levels
-
Queensland WHS Regulations for registrable plant
-
Manufacturer and design documentation requirements
We assist clients in understanding how these standards apply to their specific equipment and operational environment.
Inspection, Verification, and Certification — What’s the Difference?
Many SME operators are unclear on what level of engineering involvement is required. We help clarify:
-
When a routine inspection is sufficient
-
When engineering assessment or verification is required
-
When equipment must be registered or re-registered
-
What documentation regulators may request
Where required, inspections and reports are completed or reviewed by an RPEQ engineer to meet statutory expectations.
Client Responsibilities (What Stays With You)
While we provide engineering inspection and certification services, asset owners remain responsible for:
-
Ongoing maintenance and operation of equipment
-
Ensuring inspections are conducted at required intervals
-
Maintaining accurate records and documentation
-
Acting on recommendations identified in inspection reports
We aim to make these responsibilities clear so there are no surprises during audits or regulator engagement.
Pressure Vessel Inspection Across Queensland
We support clients throughout Queensland and across Australia, including remote and regional areas. Our work spans manufacturing, processing, construction, and asset-intensive operations where pressure equipment forms part of day-to-day operations.
