Guideline H-05

Question

Answer

The strength of the foundations does not belong to the details to be checked by notified bodies in Module B EU-Type examination – Design type , G etc. But the manufacturer, obliged by section 3.4 of Annex I of PED, must give relevant information (support forces etc) so that the body responsible for installation of the pressure equipment can design the grounding (see Annex I, section 2.2.1).

Note:
This information should also be made available to the user with ‘as built’ drawings, see PED Guideline H-03.
