Engineered with Safety at Every Stage
Safety is fundamental to every Oxygens chamber. From UKCA compliant electrical systems and independently pressure-tested components through to ongoing inspection and servicing, our chambers are designed to meet recognised UK safety requirements and provide long-term confidence for home and professional users alike.
Pressure Equipment
Our chambers are independently pressure tested above their normal operating pressure to verify structural integrity. Chambers operating above the relevant Pressure Equipment Regulations (PED/PER) thresholds are assessed accordingly before being placed into service.
UKCA Compliance
Electrical equipment supplied with our systems is UKCA compliant where required, helping ensure conformity with applicable UK electrical safety and EMC legislation.
PSSR Guidance
For business installations, we can advise where the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR 2000) may apply. Requirements depend on the system configuration and operating environment rather than simply the chamber itself.
Written Scheme of Examination
Where required for commercial operation, we can provide a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) prepared by a competent person to support ongoing inspection and compliance throughout the life of the equipment.
Our commitment: Safety doesn't end at manufacture. Every Oxygens chamber is backed by UK-based servicing, technical support and ongoing maintenance to help keep your equipment operating safely for years to come.
Real Engineering. Real Expertise.
Some companies simply import equipment and sell it. At Oxygens, we design, manufacture, test, install, service and support our chambers ourselves. Every recommendation and repair is backed by genuine engineering knowledge and hands-on experience—not just a product brochure.
Hyperbaric Chamber Safety, Manufacturing & Compliance FAQs
Detailed answers from Oxygens about UK hyperbaric chamber manufacturing, pressure testing, installation, servicing, training and long-term support for home users, clinics, sports facilities and professional wellness businesses.
Are Oxygens hyperbaric chambers manufactured in the UK?
Yes. Oxygens is a UK hyperbaric chamber manufacturer with more than 20 years of British engineering and manufacturing experience. Our hyperbaric chambers are designed, assembled, prepared and tested through our UK operation rather than being purchased as unsupported finished products for simple resale.
Working directly with the equipment gives our team practical knowledge of the chamber structure, pressure systems, valves, compressors, oxygen equipment, controls and serviceable components. This means that when a customer asks a technical question, they are speaking to a team that understands how the system has been built and how it should be installed, operated and maintained.
Our involvement continues after the chamber has been supplied. Oxygens can provide site planning, professional delivery, engineer installation, user training, fault diagnosis, servicing, replacement components and ongoing UK technical support. This is particularly important for professional facilities that need confidence that support will remain available throughout the operational life of their equipment.

Why choose a UK hyperbaric chamber manufacturer instead of an importer?
A hyperbaric chamber importer will generally purchase a completed system from an overseas factory and resell it within the UK. In some cases, the seller may have limited involvement in the original design, component selection, pressure testing, technical documentation or long-term availability of parts.
Oxygens works directly across the full chamber lifecycle: specification, manufacture, assembly, testing, installation, training, servicing and repair. Our recommendations are therefore based on practical engineering experience rather than sales literature alone.
This difference becomes especially important after installation. If a customer needs a valve checked, a compressor assessed, an electrical component replaced or a pressure issue investigated, our UK team can diagnose the system and provide a practical route forward. We do not expect customers to communicate with an unknown overseas factory or attempt to source unverified replacement parts themselves.
Choosing a UK hyperbaric chamber manufacturer can also make site planning easier. Before an order is placed, Oxygens can discuss access, room size, electrical supply, ventilation, floor loading, installation requirements and intended usage. This helps avoid purchasing equipment that is unsuitable for the proposed location.

What safety features should a hyperbaric chamber include?
The correct safety provisions depend on the type of hyperbaric chamber, its operating pressure, its construction and whether it is used in a home, clinic, sports facility or other professional environment. Hyperbaric chamber safety should never be judged from appearance alone.
An appropriately designed chamber system may include:
- Defined and controlled maximum operating pressure.
- Pressure-relief and over-pressure protection.
- Emergency depressurisation provisions.
- Pressure-rated valves, hoses, seals and fittings.
- Internal and external operating controls where appropriate.
- Suitable electrical and electromagnetic conformity.
- Clear operating instructions and emergency procedures.
- Professional installation and user training.
- Planned inspection, servicing and replacement of worn components.
Oxygens soft-shell systems use pressurised filtered room air to create the chamber environment, while supplemental oxygen is delivered separately through a mask or breathing system. Our systems include controlled pressure operation, safety valves and emergency depressurisation provisions, with user instruction provided during installation.
Our solid-steel 2.0 ATA systems include additional pressure-vessel and monitoring considerations appropriate to their design and operating pressure. Customers should always compare chambers on engineering, documentation, installation and aftercare—not simply pressure rating or purchase price.

How does Oxygens test its hyperbaric chambers before delivery?
Oxygens chambers are inspected and tested before they are approved for customer installation. Testing is matched to the chamber type and can include examination of the chamber structure, seals, pressure-retaining components, valves, hoses, compressors, controls, electrical systems and oxygen delivery equipment.
Pressure performance is checked under controlled conditions rather than relying only on a visual inspection. The purpose is to confirm that the chamber can pressurise, maintain its intended operating range and depressurise in a controlled manner before it leaves our facility.
Where relevant, independent pressure testing documentation may also be provided. A test certificate records the condition of the chamber at the test pressure and test date. It should not be confused with ongoing servicing or a Written Scheme of Examination, both of which serve different purposes.
Our installation engineers then complete further operational checks at the customer’s premises. This allows the system to be checked in its actual operating environment, with the customer shown how to use the chamber, monitor its operation and respond appropriately if a problem occurs.
What do PED and the Pressure Equipment Regulations mean for a hyperbaric chamber?
PED usually refers to the European Pressure Equipment Directive. In Great Britain, pressure equipment may instead fall within the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, often abbreviated to PESR.
Whether particular requirements apply depends on the chamber’s design, maximum allowable pressure, internal volume, pressure medium, intended use and regulatory classification. It is therefore not accurate to assume that every product described as a “hyperbaric chamber” is subject to exactly the same conformity route.
A mild soft-shell chamber operating at approximately 1.5 ATA presents a different engineering and regulatory profile from a larger solid pressure vessel operating at 2.0 ATA. The chamber itself, compressor, oxygen concentrator, electrical controls and other associated components may also fall within different areas of product legislation.
Oxygens assesses the equipment and its components according to the particular system being supplied. Professional customers should also consider their own responsibilities as operators, including workplace safety, insurance, staff training, inspection and maintenance.
What does UKCA mean for a hyperbaric chamber system?
UKCA marking is used to indicate conformity with applicable Great Britain product legislation for products placed on the market within its scope. A complete hyperbaric chamber installation can contain several distinct elements, including the pressure enclosure, compressor, oxygen concentrator, control system, electrical components, valves and breathing equipment.
These components do not necessarily fall under one single regulation or one blanket approval. For that reason, the phrase “UKCA approved chamber” should not be treated as proof that every component and every aspect of the final installation has been independently approved under one universal hyperbaric standard.
Oxygens uses appropriately specified components and considers the applicable conformity requirements for each system. Our soft-shell chambers are supplied with UKCA-compliant oxygen concentrators and suitable electrical equipment, while our engineering team also considers pressure-rated parts, operating controls, materials and installation.
Customers comparing hyperbaric chambers should ask for clear information about what has been tested, which components are marked, who is responsible for the complete system and what technical support is available after purchase.
Do the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 apply to every hyperbaric chamber?
No. The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, known as PSSR, do not automatically apply to every item sold as a hyperbaric chamber. Applicability depends on the design and configuration of the pressure system, its pressure, contents, installation and use.
Factors may include whether the system contains a relevant fluid, the pressure at which it operates, whether gas is stored under pressure, the volume of the pressure vessel and whether the equipment is being used as part of a work activity.
Oxygens soft-shell chambers are pressurised using filtered ambient air, with oxygen generally produced on demand by an oxygen concentrator and delivered separately through a mask. They are not simply filled with stored pure oxygen. A larger solid-steel 2.0 ATA chamber has a different pressure-system configuration and requires separate consideration.
Businesses remain responsible for understanding the obligations that apply to their own workplace and installation. Oxygens can provide equipment information and engineering documentation to assist with this, but customers should obtain competent advice where a formal legal determination is required.
What is a Written Scheme of Examination for a hyperbaric chamber?
A Written Scheme of Examination, commonly called a WSE, is an engineering document used to define how the safety-critical parts of a pressure system should be examined throughout its operational life.
A suitable WSE may identify:
- The pressure-retaining parts covered by the scheme.
- The parts that require examination.
- The type and extent of examination required.
- The frequency of future examinations.
- Any preparatory work needed before examination.
- Any special measures required to examine the system safely.
A WSE is not simply a certificate stating that a chamber passed one pressure test. It establishes an ongoing inspection framework and should be prepared or certified by a competent person with suitable pressure systems knowledge.
Oxygens can provide a professionally prepared Written Scheme of Examination with qualifying Winslet 2.0 ATA business purchases. The document is prepared for the relevant pressure vessel and independently reviewed and signed off where applicable.
Read our detailed guide to Written Schemes of Examination for hyperbaric chambers .
Are pressure testing and a Written Scheme of Examination the same thing?
No. A pressure test and a Written Scheme of Examination provide different types of information and should not be used interchangeably.
A pressure test assesses how the pressure-retaining structure performs at a specified test pressure at a particular point in time. It can help identify leakage, structural weakness or other problems before the system is placed into service.
A Written Scheme of Examination is forward-looking. It defines which parts of the pressure system need to be examined, the examination method and how often future examinations should take place.
In practical terms, a chamber could have a valid pressure test certificate but still require an appropriate inspection programme, routine servicing and replacement of worn service components. Conversely, a WSE does not remove the need for pre-delivery testing, installation checks or routine maintenance.
Oxygens supports customers by distinguishing between factory testing, pressure testing, installation checks, annual servicing and formal examination requirements. This helps business owners understand what each document or service actually demonstrates.
Does Oxygens provide professional hyperbaric chamber installation?
Yes. Oxygens provides professional delivery and engineer installation for its hyperbaric chamber systems. We do not simply deliver a boxed chamber and expect the customer to work out how to assemble, connect or operate it without support.
Before delivery, our team can review room dimensions, doorways, access routes, floor levels, stairs, electrical supply and the intended chamber position. For larger solid-steel chambers, this may include a video site survey or a more detailed installation plan because the chamber is delivered fully assembled and can weigh several hundred kilograms.
During installation, our engineer can:
- Position and connect the chamber system.
- Check the compressor and oxygen equipment.
- Complete pressure and operational checks.
- Explain normal pressurisation and depressurisation.
- Demonstrate emergency procedures.
- Provide user and operator guidance.
Professional installation gives the customer the opportunity to ask questions while the complete system is operating in its intended location. It also gives our team a clear record of how the chamber was installed from the outset.
Visit our hyperbaric chamber ordering and installation guide for more information.
Does Oxygens provide hyperbaric chamber servicing and repairs?
Yes. Oxygens provides ongoing hyperbaric chamber servicing, technical support, fault diagnosis and repairs. Our responsibility does not end when the chamber is delivered.
A hyperbaric chamber is a working pressure system made up of multiple serviceable elements. Depending on the model, these may include valves, hoses, seals, zips, filters, compressors, cooling systems, electrical controls, oxygen concentrators, communication equipment and monitoring devices.
Planned servicing can help identify wear before it leads to loss of performance or an avoidable breakdown. A service may include visual inspection, pressure checks, valve inspection, compressor assessment, oxygen purity checks, airflow checks, operational testing and review of serviceable components.
Because Oxygens works directly with its own chamber designs, our team can usually provide more informed diagnostic support than a general equipment reseller. We can often begin with remote video or telephone assessment before deciding whether an engineer visit or replacement component is needed.
We may also assess selected third-party chambers where sufficient technical information and suitable replacement components are available. View our hyperbaric chamber servicing and repair services .
What technical support is included after buying an Oxygens chamber?
Oxygens customers receive continuing UK-based technical support after installation. This means owners can contact a team familiar with the chamber rather than relying on generic instructions or an overseas customer-service desk.
Support can include questions about pressure, airflow, oxygen delivery, mask connections, operating controls, routine care, fault messages, replacement components and service planning. When appropriate, our team can use photographs, videos or live video calls to help identify the cause of an issue.
For example, an apparent pressure problem may be caused by a valve not being fully seated, a hose connection, a door or zip seal, or a compressor issue. A structured remote assessment can help distinguish between a simple operating matter and a fault requiring an engineer.
Where an on-site visit is required, Oxygens can arrange an engineer callout, repair or component replacement. This long-term support is one of the principal advantages of buying from a UK manufacturer with an established servicing operation.

Does Oxygens provide hyperbaric chamber training?
Yes. Oxygens provides practical user training during installation and also offers a CPD-certified online hyperbaric training course for owners, operators and staff.
Installation training is designed to help users understand the specific chamber in front of them. It can include pre-use checks, pressurisation, pressure equalisation, oxygen mask use, communication, normal depressurisation, emergency depressurisation, daily care and the steps to take if the system does not operate as expected.
Our online course provides wider background knowledge, including:
- How mild hyperbaric chambers create pressure.
- The difference between chamber air and supplemental oxygen.
- Basic pressure and oxygen principles.
- Medical HBOT compared with mild wellness systems.
- Contraindications and responsible screening.
- Operational safety and emergency procedures.
- Good practice for professional chamber operators.
Training is particularly valuable for clinics, wellness centres, physiotherapy practices and sports recovery facilities where more than one staff member may be responsible for operating the chamber.

Can Oxygens help plan a hyperbaric chamber installation before I order?
Yes. We encourage customers to discuss their site and intended use before placing an order. The most suitable hyperbaric chamber is determined by more than pressure rating alone.
Our team can help assess:
- Whether the chamber is for home, clinic or commercial use.
- The number and mobility of intended users.
- Available room dimensions and ceiling height.
- Doorway, corridor, stair and lift access.
- Electrical supply and socket position.
- Ventilation and room temperature.
- Floor loading for larger steel chambers.
- Operator training and servicing requirements.
For example, a compact sit-up chamber may be appropriate for a home user with limited floor space, while a larger wheelchair-accessible chamber may be more appropriate for a professional clinic. A solid-steel 2.0 ATA chamber requires more detailed access and structural planning because it is delivered fully assembled.
Early planning helps prevent access problems, unsuitable room layouts and unexpected installation costs. Contact our team before ordering so that the chamber, site and delivery method can be considered together.
Contact Oxygens to discuss your proposed hyperbaric chamber installation .
Can I speak to an Oxygens engineer or visit before purchasing?
Yes. Prospective customers can speak with the Oxygens team before purchasing to discuss technical requirements, installation, chamber models, pressure, oxygen supply, servicing and intended use.
Our team can explain the practical differences between soft-shell sit-up, lie-down and wheelchair-accessible chambers, as well as larger solid-steel 2.0 ATA models. We can also discuss what is included with the system, how it is delivered, expected build time, training, warranty and ongoing support.
Customers can arrange to visit our Midlands showroom and manufacturing facility by appointment. We can also direct prospective buyers to selected Oxygens providers where a chamber may be available to view in a working clinic or wellness setting.
This allows buyers to make a more informed decision and understand the space, sound, operating process and user experience before committing to an order.
