Pressure equipment certification. Your key to market access in Europe.

Comply with legal regulations and requirements. We help you to achieve European certifi cation.

The certifi cation processAs a manufacturer, you have many responsibilities and details to consider

during the planning and production of pressure equipment. These include

compliance with safety requirements, such as:

� Analyses of hazards

� Material selection

� Calculations for capacity, security and operation

� Manufacturing process (especially welding processes)

� CE marking

� Instruction manuals

For certain processes, you need to have qualifi ed personnel and appropriate

procedures in place and execute the work accordingly. These include:

� Tracebility of materials

� Component preparation

� Permanent joint

� Heat treatment

� Pressure test

� Final assessment

As a Notifi ed Body, we can review and certify all these elements and

procedures. We can support you through the whole process to meet the

applicable requirements. Moreover, as an independent inspection agency, we

provide you with the required personnel qualifi cations.

Design and planning phase

� Support in the approval process, according to national

and international regulations for worldwide markets

� Risk assessment and safety evaluation

� Review of the design proposal and strength calculations

� Calculations and analyses, including the fi nite elements

method (FEM)

� Design verifi cation

Manufacturing phase

� Review, approval and inspection of materials and their

production process

� Procedure processes - parameter identifi cation, feasibility

and usability

� Certifi cation of welders

� Certifi cation of non-destructive testing (NDT) personnel

� Testing of pre-products, components, products and

assemblies

� Certifi cation of quality assurance (QA) system

� Support in welding and materials technology

We can support you along the planning and manufacturing process - starting with

material testing at material manufacturers’ sites, followed by inspection services during

manufacturing and fi nally certifi cation of the fi nished product.

PED is a guideline for the design and manufacture of pressure equipment

covering pressure vessels, heat exchangers, steam boilers, pipelines, storage

tanks, pressure relief devices, valves, regulators and other pressure equipment

with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar.

With over 140 years of experience in inspection and certifi cation of boilers and

pressure equipment, we offer you highly specialized expertise and industry

knowledge to help you meet all the requirements of your target market.

We can help you with any kind of pressure equipment, starting with material

testing at the manufacturer’s site, followed by inspection services during

manufacturing and fi nally certifi cation of the product. For the European

market, boiler and pressure equipment must be certifi ed by an independent

Notifi ed Body to ensure compliance with all regulations.

We are a Notifi ed Body for PED all across Europe and have a comprehensive

range of international accreditations, offering a single point of contact for

global market access.

As a manufacturer of pressure equipment or related components, you must certify your

products according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC if you

want to sell them in Europe.
