PED
97/23/EC (Pressure Equipment Directive) adopted by th e European
Parliament and the European Council on May 29, 1997 was published on
May 29, 2002. Previously, manufacturers of pressure equipment could
decide if the product would meet the Pressure Equipment Directive
requirements or continue applying the existing national legislation.
On May 29, 2002, the PED was made obligatory throughout the European
Economic Area.
The main aim of the Pressure Equipment Directive is to harmonize the
European national legislations with regards to the design,
manufacture, testing and conformity assessment of pressure equipment
and assemblies with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5
bar gauge. Pressure equipment can be represented by piping, vessels,
safety accessories and pressure accessories.
