About the Standard

What is Simple Pressure Vessels Directive (SPVD) 2014/29/EU

The Simple Pressure Vessels Directive (SPVD) 2014/29/EU sets out the basic safety rules for designing, making, and checking pressure vessels that are made in series and used in the European Union.It covers things like the CE Marking, how well the product is made, tracking the materials used, checking the work, doing tests, and keeping proper records, all according to European laws.

This directive applies to pressure vessels made in series that are designed to hold air or nitrogen under pressure.
It covers the ways these vessels are made, how they are welded, how they are tested for pressure, how they are checked, and how they are certified, based on the rules in the directive.

SPVD 2014/29/EU applies to makers of air receivers, compressed air tanks, pressure vessels, and other similar welded pressure equipment that fall under the directive.
PRVÁ ZVÁRAČSKÁ, a.s., which is notified body number 2408, does the checking to make sure the products meet the requirements.This checking process has confirmed that the product meets the CE Marking requirements set out in the directive.
