About the Standard
What is PED 2014/68/EU?
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU sets out the key safety rules that pressure equipment and pressure assemblies must follow when being made, checked, tested, and approved for sale in the European Union.It explains what is needed for the CE marking, technical documents, tracking of materials, how products are made, and how to check that they meet the rules set by EU laws.
The directive covers equipment that holds pressure above certain limits, such as pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, pressure pipes, safety devices, and pressure systems.
The way to check if these products meet the rules can involve a Notified Body, depending on the type of equipment.
PRVÁ ZVÁRAČSKÁ, a.
s.(Notified Body No.2408) helps check if equipment meets the PED 2014/68/EU rules.When this check is done and passed, it shows that the equipment is safe and meets the rules needed for the CE marking under the directive.
