Legislation across the EEA requires that all applicable items of pressure equipment must be fully compliant with the PED. As a result, manufacturers must revise their working practice and develop the appropriate Technical Files for their full product range. The PED encompasses design verification, material selection, manufacturing/fabrication practices and qualification, product testing, product marking and user instruction compilation.
