If your company designs or manufactures equipment such as steam boilers, pressure vessels and safety valves, and you want to ensure their safe distribution in Europe, you can benefit from Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) certification.

Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU

Designed to ensure the safety of pressure equipment in Europe, the PED is a mandatory regulation issued by the EU member states in agreement on the safety of pressurized equipment and covers the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment for fixed installations with a maximum permissible pressure higher than 0.5 bar.

Assessment of pressure equipment according to PED 2014/68/EU

For pressurized equipment, compliance assessment procedures need to be passed, which include, but are not limited to:

Design Approval:

• Ensuring that the equipment design meets the safety requirements of PED.

Material Approval:

• Verify that the materials used to fabricate the equipment meet PED standards.

Welding Process and Welder Evaluation:

• Ensure that the welding process and welder qualifications meet PED requirements.
