Helping companies comply with PED requirements
Helping companies comply with PED requirements
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU applies to manufacturers selling pressure equipment in the European Union with a maximum allowable pressure above 7.25 psig or 0.5 bar. It establishes requirements for design, manufacturing, and conformity assessment.
The PED scope includes pressure vessels and accessories, steam boilers, piping, safety accessories, and assemblies. Steel mills, who supply materials to the vessel manufacturers, also need to comply with the PED 2014/68/EU Annex I section 4.3.
Manufacturers must comply with the PED before they can obtain the CE Marking or UKCA Marking. To comply with the PED, companies’ conformity assessments must be certified by a Notified Body. The conformity assessment procedure provides inspection and quality assessments, depending on the environmental impact and level of risk if equipment failure should occur.
