Question

  • If an item of pressure equipment complies with national pre-PED Regulations and is placed on the market on, or before, 29 May 2002, is it possible for it to be subsequently included in an assembly which is placed on the market after 29 May 2002?

Answer

Only if it is shown that such pre-PED item of pressure equipment also complies with the requirements of the directive.

If an assembly, as referred to in Article 4 paragraph 2, is placed on the market after 29 May 2002 then it must comply with the Directive. This requirement can only be met if the individual items of pressure equipment which form the assembly also comply with the Directive. This is achieved by using the global conformity assessment procedure as per Article 14 paragraph 6 (a), where required (see also PED Guideline C-07).
