Introduction
• The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) was issued in May1997
• PED had a great impact with its large scope covering many equipments
• It was relatively well accepted from the beginning thanks to the Guidelines issued by the Working Group Pressure
• Time has arrived when it is necessary to raise the question: Is it necessary to revise this directive ?

The goals of industry
• Competitiveness
• Safety
• Innovation, key issue for EPERC
![Page 6: The Pressure Equipment Directive and Innovation Guy BAYLAC Technical Advisor of EPERC TP guy.baylac@wanadoo.fr European Commission/TAIEX PED Worshop in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697bfa81a28abf838c99128/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Methodology of the Directive 1
• Essential safety requirements– Design– Manufacturing– Materials– Specific requirements for steam generators and piping
• No prescribed values, except in Annex I, paragraph 7• The need for a hazard analysis
– Eliminate or reduce hazards– Apply appropriate protection against hazards which cannot
be eliminated– Inform users of residual hazards

Methodology of the Directive 2
• Classification of equipment in function of the hazard
• Requirements on qualification of personnel and procedures graduated in function of the hazard
• Conformity assessment procedures
• Notified bodies and User inspectorates

The system has worked 1
• Except some difficulties signaled for – The market surveillance– The acceptance of materials– The standards: the presumption of
conformity given to harmonized standards (Art 5) was not enough to give the necessary impulse to the development of certain standards (e.g. EN 13445)

The system has worked 2
• Some difficulties in the development of the research
• But this is not due to the PED– The goal-setting legislation facilitates
initiative– The terms used in the PED give a lot of
freedom (e.g. joining of components)

The new departure of standardization and
research
• This new departure should result from a greater involvement of the industry with incitative measures, such as:– Public helps to investments– Participation of investors
• EPERC is ready to help this movement

Cost variations
• Important cost variations can be noted in the different countries due to:– Different time-intervals in in-service
inspection– Acceptance of the concept of Risk-Based
inspection– Acceptance of alternative methods for the
requalification of equipment

Need for a goal-setting legislation
• EPERC is in favour of a European goal-setting legislation on in-service inspection– Fostering the use of Risk-Base Inspection– Allowing the use of alternative methods to the
requalification by hydrotest, as it is already the case in some countries
– These alternative methods using Fitnet for Service techniques associated to appropriate planning and innovative NDT methods

PED limits
• PED stops at putting in service or putting on the market
• It considers assemblies, but not assembly on site which is of the responsibility of Member States
• In-service inspection is of the responsibility of Member States

Conclusion
• The PED gives satisfaction as it is • The development of standardization and
research does not request a modification of the directive and can be obained by other means
• EPERC suggests that the preparation of a goal-setting legislation on in-service inspection is more urgent that the modification of the PED.
