Free online tool for pressure equipment manufacturers

The PED applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies intended for use in the EU that exceed certain pressure, volume, or nominal diameter thresholds. Each piece of pressure equipment above these thresholds must be assigned a hazard category based on its type, the fluid(s) it will contain, and its pressure and capacity. This categorisation then determines the relevant conformity assessment modules.

To help organisations navigate this complex field, leading assurance provider, LRQA, has updated its popular, online PED Category Selector Tool. The easy-to-use tool is designed to help pressure equipment manufacturers to confidently determine PED categories and conformity assessment modules for their pressure equipment.

Being the first Notified Body accredited for the PED, LRQA's technical experts possess extensive experience and industry-specific knowledge, so clients can have the confidence our experts understand industry challenges and the logic behind the directive. 

The tool is now available for download on desktop, iOS, and Android platforms. Download here: info.lrqa.com/l/12702/2023-08-02/gnfxj4
