Simple Pressure Equipment Directive
Writer:LANDER TESTING  View:28  Addtime:2007-8-29

The Simple Pressure Equipment (EC Directive 87/404/EEC) applies only to the construction of simple pressure vessels. It is mandatory and replaces all previous national regulations in the EU. However, for the operation of simple pressure equipment the national regulations are still applicable.


The scope of the directive does not include fire extinguishers, vessels for nuclear use and vessels used for the propulsion of ships or aircrafts.

What is a "Simple Pressure Vessel" ?


The directive applies to those pressure equipment that fulfil all of the requirements listed below:

General the vessels must be welded and produced in a series (minimum two vessels) and must not be intended for firing air or nitrogen
Medium air or nitrogen
Design Simple shape (only cylindrical shells with outwardly dished and/or flat ends)
Material Pressurized parts must be made of non-alloy steel (EN 10207), non-alloy aluminum or non-age-hardening aluminum alloys
Pressure 0.5 bar < PS ≦ 30 bar
Energy content 50 bar x L < PS x V ≦10.000 bar x L
Temperature ≧-50℃
≦300℃ (steel)
≦100℃ (aluminum)
Stress e.g. dynamic loading has to be stated in the operating manual (number of load cycles etc.)

Testing and Certification Requirements

The requirements on testing and certification depend on the vessel's size:

Energy content
(bar x liter)
Action required Marking by
50< PS x V≦200 EC Dedaration of Coniformity
(Notified Body performs initial inspection)
manufacturer
200< PS x V≦3000 EC Dedaration of Coniformity and EC-Surveillence(Notified Body performs initial and regular inspections) manufacturer
3000< PS x V≦10000 EC verification (Notified Body performs initial verification and EC surveilance) Notified Body
