pressure equipments plant

Guideline A-39

Question

Answer

Yes.

Reason:
While the categories are defined in Article 13 for items of pressure equipment, the same categories are applied to and used in the context of Assemblies in Article 14. The Directive clearly defines a category for each assembly in Article 14 paragraph 2.6 (b) and requires that the applicable conformity assessment modules are used as per Article 14 paragraph 2.

Consequently there is no problem to determine, which assemblies are excluded from the pressure equipment directive by Article 1 paragraph (f).
