The harmonised standard or specification referred to is the governing document(s) embracing all aspects of materials, design, manufacturing and testing of the item of pressure equipment or assembly.
If the governing document is an internal specification or a published technical code, this information shall also be given.
However, as regards conditions related to the use of such documents, see also PED Guidelines I-05 and Guideline I-06 particularly.
Reason:
“The Blue Guide on the implementation of EU product rules” (edition. 2014) explains in Chapter 4.4 that the EU declaration of conformity contains “the referenced standards or other technical specifications (such as national technical standards and specifications) in a precise, complete and clearly defined way; this implies that the version and/or date of the relevant standard is specified.“
It is not requested to give the complete list of the standards used in combination with the governing document.
