PRESSURE EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION

The New Approach Directives for CE marking have been designed by the European Union in such a manner that they cover all requirements for products from each of the aforementioned sectors.

Directive 2014/68/EU on Pressure Equipment specifies the essential requirements the product must meet in order for the manufacturer to affix the CE Marking.

The Directive defines pressure equipment as vessels, piping, safety accessories and pressure accessories, including, where applicable, elements attached to pressurised parts, such as flanges, nozzles, couplings supports, lifting lugs, and applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies with a maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0,5 bar.

The pressure equipment covered by the Directive is subject to the essential safety requirements listed in Annex I of the Directive.
