CE PED | Pressure equipment

PED is abbreviation of Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU), which is a pressure equipment instruction that applies to design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and components with a maximum permissible pressure of 0.5 bar or more. Manufacturers wishing to export their products to EU countries must be certified in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive, which was amended from 97/23/EC to 2014/68/EU as of July 19, 2016.

  Scope

  This guidance applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies with a maximum permissible pressure of 0.5 bar or more. Includes all vessels, piping, safety accessories and pressure accessories.

  ✤ Applied pressure equipment
  • ☑ Water pipe boiler
  • ☑ Heat Exchanger
  • ☑ Pressure vessel
  • ☑ Pipe
  • ☑ Electric heater
  • ☑ Valve (Isolated, Controlled)
  • ☑ Meter
  • ☑ Release valve
  • ☑ Safety valve
  • ☑ Controlled safety pressure release system
  • ☑ Pressure switch
  • ☑ Temperature change
  • ☑ Fluid level switch

  ✤ Excluded scope
  • ☑ Items applicable to SPVD(Simple Pressure Vessels Directive) and TPED(Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive)
  • ☑ Products with relatively low pressurization : Mechanical Directive
  • ☑ Pressure vessel
  • ☑ Equipment for vehicles, etc.

• Proof of pressure equipment (CE marking)

  

  Pressure instruments are classified into four stages of Category I, II, III, and IV according to the maximum allowable pressure (PS), fluid use, volume, and external diameter (DN), and are subject to the module requirements applicable to that category as shown in the table below. For detailed technical requirements for conformity assessment, European technical specifications such as EN 1345, AD2000, and ASME codes are applied.
