Conformity Assessment according to PED | Bureau Veritas

The Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, transposed in the Swiss law by the Ordinance on pressure equipment (SR 930.114), covers individual pressure equipment and assemblies, stationary pressure equipment - PEDs, which are newly placed on the market of the European Union when they are placed on the market. This means that they are pressure equipment, assemblies or products manufactured in the European Union or imported from a third country.

We offer the necessary know-how and the legal prerequisites - in compliance with the technical safety requirements - to assess pressure equipment and assemblies in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive in order to obtain approval (CE marking). This can include, for example, design review, final and pressure testing or quality monitoring.
