Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
Ensure your pressure equipment is safe and compliant
Essential safety requirements for pressure equipment
PED regulations outline essential requirements for pressure equipment, including design, materials, manufacturing processes, inspection, and testing, providing a legal structure to certification, which allows companies to trade freely across the European Union (EU).
Non-compliance can lead to legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. But more importantly, it can compromise the safety and effectiveness of your offerings.
