The regulations place a duty on designers of pressure systems to properly design the systems so that, when properly constructed from suitable materials and they do not present danger. The designers should also make sure in their designs that any necessary testing and examination may be performed without risk to health and safety. This would include provision for safe access into vessels, if required, and the provision of any necessary protective devices to prevent danger, so far as is reasonably practicable.
