The PED and UK Pressure Equipment Regulations establish mandatory safety requirements for pressure equipment and assemblies intended to be placed on the EU and UK markets.

These regulations apply to a wide range of pressure-containing equipment including:

Pressure vessels
Boilers
Piping systems
Heat exchangers
Safety accessories
Pressure accessories
Industrial gas systems
Steam systems
Hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies

Regulatory Requirements under PED & UKCA

Manufacturers placing pressure equipment on the EU or UK market are responsible for ensuring that products:

Meet applicable Essential Safety Requirements (ESR)
Undergo the appropriate conformity assessment procedure
Are supported by adequate technical documentation
Are designed and manufactured according to applicable engineering standards
Operate safely under intended operating conditions

Conformity assessment requirements are determined according to:

Fluid group classification
Pressure category
Maximum allowable pressure (PS)
Volume (V)
Nominal size (DN)
Type of equipment

Classification requirements are defined in:

Annex II of PED 2014/68/EU
UK Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations

Pressure Equipment Categories under PED

Pressure equipment may fall into:

SEP (Sound Engineering Practice)
Category I
Category II
Category III
Category IV

Higher risk categories generally require mandatory involvement of an EU Notified Body (NB) or UK Approved Body.

Sound Engineering Practice (SEP)

Certain pressure equipment classified under Article 4(3) of PED 2014/68/EU may be designed and manufactured according to:

Sound Engineering Practice (SEP)

SEP equipment:

Must be designed and manufactured using recognized engineering practices
Must ensure safe operation
Must include adequate operating instructions
Must comply with applicable technical requirements

However:

SEP equipment does not bear CE marking under PED
SEP equipment does not bear UKCA marking under UK Pressure Equipment Regulations
No Notified Body involvement is required for SEP classification

Manufacturers remain fully responsible for product safety and regulatory compliance.
