Pressure Equipment Directive in the US market

The PED regulations delineate crucial criteria for pressure equipment, covering aspects such as design, materials, manufacturing processes, inspection, and testing. These regulations establish a framework for certification, enabling companies to engage in seamless trade within the European Union (EU). It is important that all US manufacturers comply to PED regulations to sell their pressure equipment to the European market and ensure the safety and quality of their products. 

Failure to comply may result in legal consequences, damage to reputation, and a loss of customer trust. More importantly, it can jeopardize the safety and efficacy of your products and services.

In this webinar, our speakers Paris Mintzardis and Duane Ahlquist will explore what companies in the US who are exporting into the EU should consider to be compliant and trade their products effectively.
