| Vessels referred to in Article 4 (volume less than or equal to 0,1 litre) | Table in Annex II | Category (Volume less than or equal to 0,1 litre) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.(a)(i) first indent | 1 | If PS ≤ 200 bar, then Article 4.3 applies otherwise see point 3 below |
| 1.(a)(i) second indent | 2 | If PS ≤ 1000 bar, then Article 4.3 applies otherwise see point 3 below |
| 1.(a)(ii) first indent | 3 | If PS ≤ 500 bar, then Article 4.3 applies otherwise see point 3 below |
| 1.(a)(ii) second indent | 4 | If PS ≤ 1000 bar, then Article 4.3 applies otherwise see point 3 below |
Reason:
- The conformity assessment categories for vessels with a volume less than or equal to 0,1 litre cannot be determined from Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 because the Tables are not specified for volumes less than 0,1 litre.
However, Article 4 paragraph 1 together with Article 4 paragraph 3 can be used to determine which vessels must satisfy the essential safety requirements and those that must be designed and manufactured according to the Sound Engineering Practice (SEP) of a Member State. - If a vessel has a volume less than or equal to 0,1 litre, and a value of PS above the limits defined in Article 4 paragraph 1, then the vessels must satisfy the essential safety requirements of Annex I.
- In the absence of specific information in the Tables of Annex II for the conformity assessment of vessels described in point 2 above, the manufacturer may choose any module‚ or single combination of modules, set out in section 1 of Annex II.
