Abstract

Gives to all Equipment (pressure vessels, piping, and boilers) subject to a pressure greater than 0.5 bar.

Scope

The PED applies to all Equipment (pressure vessels, piping, and boilers) subject to a pressure greater than 0.5 bar. (a) The application of the PED is fully mandatory in all countries of EU and has superseded the National Regulations. (b) Any Pressure Equipment within the scope of the PED has to comply with it and bear the CE Marking. (c) The PED applies only to new Equipment going into service in the EU for the first time. Equipment already in service is not subject to the PED, but will continue to meet the National Regulations. Despite several exclusions, such as the nuclear field, this scope is very wide as it covers small products (such as pressure-cookers) as well as large industrial Equipment (such as chemical reactors or liquefied gas vessels). The PED applies only to new Equipment
