The Pressure Equipment Directive is a European directive that defines theproduct requirements to be upheld by manufacturers and other economic operators who are planning to place their pressure equipment on the market and/or put these into use within Europe. Pressure equipment include pressure vessels, installation piping, safety accessories as well as pressureaccessories,including elements attached to pressurized parts, such as flanges, nozzles and couplings.
Products, such as pipelines for the conveyance of substances to and from an installation, aerosol dispensers, blast furnaces, bottles and cans for carbonated drinks and radiators are excluded from the application of the Pressure Equipment Directive.
The product requirements in the Pressure Equipment Directive are defined by so-called essential requirements. Manufacturers and other economic operators who are planning to place pressure equipment on the market or put these into use within Europe must meet these requirements. Only after all applicable product requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive and any other relevant CE product requirements have been met, can the CE marking be affixed to the pressure equipment and can the product be freely placed on the market within the European Union.
