PSSR requires a "written" scheme of examination.
What is the significance of "written"?

George

A written scheme can be reviewed and compared with good practices, e.g. as defined in national and international standards. Examination records can also be checked to see whether the scheme is being complied with.
An unwritten scheme (i.e. just in the head of a 'competent person') can't be reviewed or audited by anyone else!

Thank you, your response makes perfect sense.
Is there an official reason by the HSE or other regulatory body, perhaps something that was stated during the rule-making?

A written scheme of examination is also the property of the people who own the equipment. If their management decide to change engineering inspection providers, the written scheme has to be accepted by the new provider.

A written scheme just means that it has to be properly recorded just like a risk assessment has to be properly recorded (5 employees or more). As has been said, it is so that it can be examined, audited, reviewed etc.
A written scheme will show that a schedule of inspections has been properly planned and implemented with the results recorded and that the level of inspection is suitable for the type of equipment eg includes periodic none destructive testing and not just visual examination.
