Pressure Equipment Directive (PED): from complexity to control
Practical guidance and expert support to get PED right: from design to commissioning
The Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) is legally binding, technically complex, and often underestimated. We help manufacturers, contractors and end users translate PED theory into practical, compliant execution — without delays, rework or unpleasant surprises during inspection.
Why PED causes problems in real projects
PED rarely fails because of lack of engineering knowledge — it fails because of unclear ownership, timing issues and missing documentation.
We often see organisations struggle with:
- Unclear responsibility Who is the Manufacturer under PED? Who appoints the Notified Body? Who owns the technical file?
- Late involvement of PED Design reviews, categorisation or NoBo involvement start when construction is already underway.
- Incorrect or inconsistent categorisation Linelists, nameplates and risk analyses that don’t align with the PED requirements.
- Incomplete or outdated documentation Missing PMAs, welding qualifications, risk analyses, user manuals or inspection plans.
- Confusion around modifications and SEP Uncertainty about what is covered by PED, what falls under national legislation, and when Sound Engineering Practice applies.
The result: delays, non-conformities, extra costs, stress at the end of the project, etc.
What we do for PED
We support you across the entire PED lifecycle, combining regulatory expertise with hands‑on engineering insight. Our approach is not theoretical — it is based on lessons learned from real industrial projects.
We help you with:
- Early‑stage PED assessment
- Scope determination
- Categorisation of vessels, piping and assemblies
- Identification of applicable modules
- Clear definition of roles
- Clarifying who is the Manufacturer under PED
- Ensuring the correct party appoints the Notified Body — on time
- Design review & technical file support
- Risk analysis and lifetime considerations
- Design calculations and applicable standards
- PMA, welding and NDT requirements
- Construction follow‑up
- Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs)
- Traceability, certifications, pressure testing
- Modifications & SEP
- Minor vs major modifications
- Correct application of Sound Engineering Practice
- Clear guidance on what requires CE marking — and what must not
Why choose us
- PED done right, from the start
Early involvement prevents rework, redesign and late NoBo interventions. - Practical, not theoretical
Our guidance is based on real cases, real inspections and real non‑conformities — not generic interpretations of the Directive. - One clear point of contact
We help you structure responsibilities, documentation and communication — avoiding confusion between manufacturers, contractors, end users and notified bodies.
Proven expertise, trusted by the industry
Our PED approach is built on:
- Years of experience with pressure vessels, piping, and assemblies
- Deep knowledge of PED guidelines, CABF recommendations and harmonised standards
- Continuous feedback from industry lessons learned
This methodology has been successfully shared and validated during industry events and technical sessions with manufacturers, engineering firms and end users.
