No.

According to article 1 paragraph 2 (a) “…a system of piping designed for the conveyance of any fluid …to or from an installation (onshore or offshore) ….” is excluded from the directive. This covers pipelines for district heating, whereas standard pressure equipment in e.g. boiler houses and pumping stations are included (refer to PED Guideline A-17).
