Question

  • How to consider a transportable (TPED) pressure receptacle incorporated in an assembly being placed on the market under PED?

Answer

Two different cases have to be considered:

  1. The TPED pressure receptacle will remain transportable pressure equipment which will be used as gas storage system and further on will be transported under transport regulations and filled in filling stations.
    It is not required to re-assess such TPED pressure receptacle against PED.
  2. The TPED pressure receptacle will permanently become part of a PED assembly (which means it will only be filled on-site).
    The change of status from transportable (TPED) to static (PED) pressure equipment requires the formerly TPED pressure receptacle to be categorized and re-assessed against PED.

However for either case the correct incorporation has to be assessed against PED, see PED Guideline C-13.
