Pressure Equipment Directive

Pressure Equipment Directive

For safety reasons, various countries or regions have corresponding regulatory requirements for the design, manufacture, etc., of pressure equipment. Pressure equipment circulating in the EU market must obtain the CE certification mark. The Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) specifies the design, manufacture, and conformity assessment requirements for pressure equipment applicable to all member states of the European Community, replacing the original access systems of each member state with a unified certification scheme.

 

The EU Pressure Equipment Directive (PED for short) applies to various pressure equipment manufacturing enterprises, involving products such as boilers, pressure vessels, pressure pipes, pressure accessories, and safety accessories with an allowable pressure higher than 0.5 bar.
