What is PED category SEP?

The SEP classification applies to pressure equipment that is not subject to Category I, II, III or IV conformity assessment, but must be designed and manufactured with “sound engineering practice” as defined by the PED. SEP classified products do not and cannot receive a CE mark.

What is Category 1 pressure equipment?

There are two groups: Group 1: Fluids defined as: explosive, extremely flammable, highly flammable, flammable (where the maximum allowable temperature is above flashpoint), very toxic, toxic, or oxidizing. Group 2: All fluids not referred to in Group 1.

What is PED spec?

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU (formerly 97/23/EC) of the EU sets out the standards for the design and fabrication of pressure equipment (“pressure equipment” means steam boilers, pressure vessels, piping, safety valves and other components and assemblies subject to pressure loading) generally over …

What is a Group 2 liquid?

Fluids that are considered are divided in two groups. GROUP 1 Dangerous fluids; explosive, extremely flammable, highly flammable, flammable, very toxic, toxic, oxidizing. GROUP 2 Non dangerous fluids; all fluids not included in 1.

What is PED in HVAC?

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) affects compressors, condensing units and other equipment for the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry that is produced in or imported into the European Community.

What is PED for valves?

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) is European Legislation aimed at removing the technical barriers to trade relating to the supply of pressure equipment throughout Europe. The PED is based on Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) that govern design, manufacturing, inspection and testing.

Is PED and CE same?

SHARE: PED is the European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. Pressure equipment with an operating pressure greater than 0.5 bar falls under the scope of the Directive and therefore CE marking is required by law.

What is PED fluid group?

Working fluids are classified under PED into 2 groups. Group 1 consists of dangerous fluids (flammable, toxic and/or oxidizing). Group 2 consists of all other fluids (non-dangerous) not covered in Group 1.

What is PED inspection?

What is the difference between PED and ASME?

The PED is a regulation at the location of in- stallation, and enforced by laws in the entire EU. ASME Code on the other hand is a technical standard in this context. It is not enforced by law in the EU, and used for the technical details of the design and fabrication of pressure equipment.

What is PED oil and gas?

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar gauge including vessels, piping, safety accessories and pressure accessories.

What is PED approval?

The PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) is a product directive issued by the European Community (2014/68/EU) that sets the standards for the design, fabrication, installation, and use of pressure equipment.
