Guideline C-18

  • WGP date: 15/03/2016

Question

  • When items of pressure equipment making up an assembly have not been previously subjected to an assessment and are therefore assessed at the same time as the assembly in accordance with the point a) of article 14 paragraph 6, shall they carry the information required in Annex I section 3.3?

Answer

No.

In that case Annex I section 3.3 requires that an appropriate document (operating instructions for the assembly) includes the information specified in this section. It is reminded that the operating instructions shall clearly identify all items of pressure equipment making up the assembly.

Reason:
As the product put on the market is an assembly, the requirements only apply to this assembly. This is confirmed by Article 19 paragraph 2.

Note 1:
In conformity with Annex IV of PED, the declaration of conformity of the assembly must also contain the description of the items of pressure equipment constituting the assembly (See also PED Guideline J-08).

Note 2:
This does not preclude the assembly manufacturer from marking appropriate characteristics on items of equipment which can be necessary for safe installation, operation or use and, where applicable, maintenance and periodic inspection.
