Guideline C-14

  • WGP date: 13/09/2018

Question

  • Article 4, paragraph 2 (last sentence) states that the manually fed assemblies must comply with certain essential requirements. Furthermore Article 2 (6) states that the assemblies shall be assembled by the manufacturer. Assuming that the manufacturer wants to use Module B EU-Type examination – design type in accordance with annex II, table 4, is it then sufficient that the manufacturer of the boiler gets an EU-Type examination – design type certificate or shall it be the installer (plumber), who assembles the protective devices to the boiler on site that must obtain the EU-Type examination – design type certificate?

Answer

As stated in PED Guideline C-05, Article 4 paragraph 2 (last sentence) assemblies comprise, as a minimum, the boiler with its protective devices.

However, it is sufficient that the manufacturer of the boiler obtains an EU- Type examination – design type certificate, provided that he clearly specifies in his installation instructions the suitable protective device that shall be used in the assembly and how it shall be installed.

The installation instructions shall be part of the EU-Type examination – design type examination.

See also PED guidelines C-03 and C-05.

Note:
The module B EU-Type examination – design type assessment shall comprise essential safety requirements from Article 4 paragraph 2 last sentence as well as the operating instructions.
