PED 2014/68/EU: Certification

The Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) regulates the design, manufacture, and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies in the European Union. It applies to vessels, piping, safety accessories, and other equipment subject to a maximum pressure over 0.5 bar. Manufacturers must affix a CE marking and issue an EU declaration of conformity. Notified bodies like ECO are responsible for conformity assessments according to modules that include production control, type examination, quality assurance, and verification. ECO can also inspect safety devices as required by Italian regulations.

CERTIFICATION

PED 2014/68/EU
The Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU , known as PED (Pressure Equipment
Directive), is a product directive issued by the European Union, which regulates the design,
manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies.

APPLICATION Pressure equipments,


with a pressure equal to
The PED 2014/68/UE applies to vessel, piping, safety or less than 0.5 bar, are
accessories, pressure accessories and assemblies subjected to a excluded from the
application of the
maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0.5 bar . Directive.
Pressure equipment, which fall within the scope, must meet the Essential Safety
Requirements defined in Annex I of the PED.
When placing on the market, manufacturers shall affix the CE marking and issue the EU
declaration of conformity .
The PED identifies manufacturers as responsibles for the construction, with the
intervention of the Notified Body for the conformity assessment in the foreseen cases.
The PED only concerns the placing on the EU market of pressure equipment, but it does not
give indications about the requirements related to the operation and maintenance of the
same, which are defined by National Regulations .

PRESSURE EQUIPMENTS AND
ASSEMBLIES SUBJECT TO PED
VESSEL : housing designed and built to contain fluids under pressure;
PIPING : piping components intended for the transport of fluids, when connected together for
integration into a pressure equipment;
PRESSURE ACCESSORIES : devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing
housing;
SAFETY ACCESSORIES : devices designed to protect pressure equipment against the allowable
limits being exceeded;
ASSEMBLIES : several pieces of pressure equipment assembled by a manufacturer to constitute
an integrated and functional whole.
DANGER CATEGORY CLASSIFICATION
The PED requires manufacturers to identify the danger Annex II defines, through 9 tables, the
category of the equipment built, which is linked to the belonging of the component or of the
concept of energy stored in the equipment. The energy equipment to one of the four risk
stored is evaluated based on the following parameters: categories, with reference to the type
of pressure equipment, to the group
Maximum allowable pressure (PS); and to the physical state of the fluid, to
Own volume V or own nominal size DN, as appropriate; the PSxV value in the case of vessel
Fluid type and state. and PSxDN in the case of pipes .
The category of the assemblies is
determined by the highest category of
components, excluding safety
accessories.
AUTHORISATIONS
ECO works as Notified Body nr. 0714  for the conformity assessment of Pressure
Equipments according to the following procedures defined by the PED :
Module A2 : Internal production control plus supervised pressure equipement checks at random
intervals
Module B : EU-Type examination - Production Type
Module B : EU-Type examination – Design Type
Module C2 : Conformity to type based on internal production control plus supervised pressure
equipment checks at random intervals
Module D : Conformity to type based on quality assurance of the production process
Module D1 : Quality assurance of the production process
Module E : Conformity to type based on pressure equipment quality assurance
Module E1 : Quality assurance of final pressure equipment inspection and testing
Module F : Conformity to type based on pressure equipment verification
Module G : Conformity based on unit verification
Module H : Conformity based on full quality assurance
Module H1 : Conformity based on full quality assurance plus design examination
On request, ECO, during the testing phase, performs the inspection of safety devices
efficiency  as required by the Italian Ministerial Decree n. 329 of 01/12/2004 - art. 5,
paragraph D - which exempts the user from requesting inspection of commissioning by
INAIL (National Institute for Insurance against Workplace Accidentals and Occupational
Disease).
