1 INDUSTRIAL SERVICES PRESSURE EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION (PED) Pressure equipment certification. Your key to market access in Europe.

2 Comply with legal regulations and requirements. We help you to achieve European certification. We can support you along the planning and manufacturing process - starting with material testing at material manufacturers sites, followed by inspection services during manufacturing and finally certification of the finished product. Design and planning phase Support in the approval process, according to national and international regulations for worldwide markets Risk assessment and safety evaluation Review of the design proposal and strength calculations Calculations and analyses, including the finite elements method (FEM) Design verification Manufacturing phase Review, approval and inspection of materials and their production process Procedure processes - parameter identification, feasibility and usability Certification of welders Certification of non-destructive testing (NDT) personnel Testing of pre-products, components, products and assemblies Certification of quality assurance (QA) system Support in welding and materials technology The certification process As a manufacturer, you have many responsibilities and details to consider during the planning and production of pressure equipment. These include compliance with safety requirements, such as: Analyses of hazards Material selection Calculations for capacity, security and operation Manufacturing process (especially welding processes) Instruction manuals For certain processes, you need to have qualified personnel and appropriate procedures in place and execute the work accordingly. These include: Tracebility of materials Component preparation Permanent joint Heat treatment Pressure test Final assessment As a Notified Body, we can review and certify all these elements and procedures. We can support you through the whole process to meet the applicable requirements. Moreover, as an independent inspection agency, we provide you with the required personnel qualifications.

3 To help you expand into the global market, we certify your pressure equipment in compliance with European legislation - and with a wide range of national regulations. We support you with: A general understanding of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and other related directives. Understanding the concept of. Recognizing equipment that falls under the directive. Understanding assessment procedures. Determining the risk category of particular pressure equipment. Drawing up a Conformity. Creating a technical file. According to the risk category of the product, you can choose a combination of different modules to comply with the PED enabling you to use the. Modules for category I Manufacturer Manufacturer Manufacturer Internal production control Modules for category II Manufacturer Manufacturer Notified Body Manufacturer Internal production control Module A1 Monitoring of the final assessment Module E1 (final assessment) Module D1 Production quality assurance (without design)

4 Modules for category III Manufacturer Notified Body Notified Body Manufacturer 1 Module D EC designexamination (without design) 1 EC designexamination Module F Product verification Module E EC typeexamination EC typeexamination (final assessment) Module C1 Conformity to type Module H Full quality assurance (with design) Modules for category IV Manufacturer Notified Body Notified Body Manufacturer Module D EC Typeexamination EC Typeexamination (without design) Module F Product verification Module G EC unit verification (design verification + product verification) Module H1 Full quality assurance (with design) + design examination + special surveillance of the final assessment

5 Offering you the experience you need to gain access to your target market. As a manufacturer of pressure equipment or related components, you must certify your products according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC if you want to sell them in Europe. PED is a guideline for the design and manufacture of pressure equipment covering pressure vessels, heat exchangers, steam boilers, pipelines, storage tanks, pressure relief devices, valves, regulators and other pressure equipment with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar. With over 140 years of experience in inspection and certification of boilers and pressure equipment, we offer you highly specialized expertise and industry knowledge to help you meet all the requirements of your target market. We can help you with any kind of pressure equipment, starting with material testing at the manufacturer s site, followed by inspection services during manufacturing and finally certification of the product. For the European market, boiler and pressure equipment must be certified by an independent Notified Body to ensure compliance with all regulations. European regulations Harmonized norms: EN 12952, EN 12953: steam boiler EN 13445: pressure vessel EN 13480: pipelines European country regulations: Germany: AD 2000 United Kingdom: PD 5500 (BS 5500) France: CODAP 2000 Other We are a Notified Body for PED all across Europe and have a comprehensive range of international accreditations, offering a single point of contact for global market access.
