Pressure Equipment - EU Directive (PED)
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU) covers the design, production and conformity assessment of pressure equipment, which have a pressure higher than 0.5 bar.
The PED covers pressure vessels, steam boilers and pipelines, but as well assembly-groups and equipment, such as fittings or safety valves.
Since the PED only specifies basic safety requirements, supplementary applications of suitable standards and regulations are always necessary.
Harmonized standards, such as EN 13445, but also national regulations, such as AD 2000, can be used for this purpose.
Being a notified body for conformity assessment and certification, TÜV NORD offers comprehensive and competent support for all manufacturing and production steps.
