Pressure equipment certification.
Your key to market access in Europe.
Comply with legal regulations and requirements.
We help you to achieve European certifi cation.
The certifi cation 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) CE marking
Instruction manuals
For certain processes, you need to have qualifi ed 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 Notifi ed 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 qualifi cations.
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 fi nite elements
method (FEM) Design verifi cation
Manufacturing phase
Review, approval and inspection of materials and their production process
Procedure processes - parameter identifi cation, feasibility and usability
Certifi cation of welders
Certifi cation of non-destructive testing (NDT) personnel Testing of pre-products, components, products and
assemblies
Certifi cation of quality assurance (QA) system Support in welding and materials technology
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 fi nally certifi cation of the fi nished product.

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 certifi cation 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 fi nally certifi cation of the product. For the European market, boiler and pressure equipment must be certifi ed by an independent Notifi ed Body to ensure compliance with all regulations.
We are a Notifi ed Body for PED all across Europe and have a comprehensive range of international accreditations, offering a single point of contact for global market access.
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.
