Information on the certification of pressure equipment

All manufacturers of pressure equipment must ensure that their products meet the essential safety requirements set out in the relevant directives before signing a declaration of conformity and placing a product on the European market. DEKRA's Notified Body services for pressure equipment help manufacturers to meet the mandatory assessment and verification requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), the Simple Pressure Vessel Directive (SPVD) and the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED).
In order to meet the legal requirements and place the product on the market, the manufacturer often needs to involve a Notified Body in the manufacturing process. As a notified body for pressure equipment, DEKRA carries out conformity assessments and verifications related to the following directives and the listed assessment modules or audits.
