Boiler and Pressure Vessel regulation in Netherlands

Boiler and Pressure Vessel regulation in Netherlands

Boiler and Pressure Vessel regulation in Netherlands

(OP)
Hello,

I know that in Netherlands boiler and vessel are manufactured according to the PED.

But I want to know what act or rule is regulating the domestic installation or the exporting item exccept EU.

Thank you!!!

RE: Boiler and Pressure Vessel regulation in Netherlands

PED is not a design code like e.g. ASME I-V or VIII
Normally used as design code in the Netherlands are the "Rules for Pressure Vessels" or in Dutch: Regels voor Toestellen onder Druk. PED is only a directive.

RE: Boiler and Pressure Vessel regulation in Netherlands

The point of the pressure equipment directive is to provide an level playing field and remove restrictions to trade within and across EU member states.

As such the rules for pressure vessels in the Netherlands should be the same is in Germany, France, Spain, UK, etc.

I said should because Germany has introduced some 'inspection rules' that have negated this level playing field, I understand but it hasn't been confirmed, that they are being investigated for this. I haven't heard of anything similar for the Netherlands.
