Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) is a European Union regulation designed to ensure the safety of pressure-related equipment, such as boilers, piping systems, and pressure vessels. It sets essential safety standards that manufacturers must meet to prevent accidents and protect people and property. Products covered by the PED must undergo testing and certification to verify their compliance before being sold in the EU. This directive helps maintain a high level of safety and reliability across various industries by regulating how pressure equipment is designed, constructed, and maintained.
