Guideline C-20
Two different cases have to be considered: However for either case the correct incorporation has to be assessed against PED, see PED Guideline C-13. Note:See also PED Guideline A-33
Guideline A-01
They are covered by the Pressure Equipment Directive. Reason:Portable extinguishers are specifically mentioned in Article 4 paragraph 1 (a)(i) second indent and Annex II, Table 2 of the Pressure Equipment Directive. All fire extinguishers according UN 1044 are specifically mentioned in special provision 594 of ADR as an exclusion when appropriately packed for transport.Thus, these […]
Guideline A-10
Bottles/gas cylinders for breathing apparatus are covered by the Pressure Equipment Directive, for example : The following bottles for breathing equipment are not in the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive: According to the circumstances of the transport, the requirements of ADR/RID/IMDG/ICAO may also be applicable. If the manufacturer intends bottles to be used both […]
Guideline A-30
Yes. This double marking proves that the item of pressure equipment complies with both directives, and can be used in both contexts without further assessment. A similar item bearing only the π mark could also be used for pressure purposes outside the scope of ADR/RID but consideration would need to be given to possible national […]
Guideline A-33
Yes, provided the « pi » marked receptacle has been placed on the market and used as transportable pressure equipment, it can then be used permanently as static pressure equipment without being CE marked. Note 1:For static use the receptacle may be subject to national regulation dealing with conditions of use, installation and periodic inspection. […]
Guideline A-34
Yes, if the PS of the compressed air is greater than 0,5 bar. The PS of com- pressed air and internal volume of the tank determine the category according to the table 2 of Annex II. Reason:Slurry tankers are not excluded from the scope of the PED due to Article 1 paragraph 2 (s). They […]

Note:see PED Guidelines A-01 and […]

Guideline A-41
Yes, such an LPG or CNG vessel is in the scope of the PED and must be assessed according to its maximum allowable pressure and volume. Reason:An engine powered fork lift truck is not a motor vehicle in the sense of Directive 2007/46/EC*), so the exclusion of the Article 1 paragraph 2(e) does not apply. […]
