EU Imported high pressure machinery what directives apply in Texas?
(OP)
Ladies and gentlemen,
We're looking into importing an European high pressure machinery for Nitrogen and carbon dioxide for use in medical/pharma industry.
The machines are CE approved for the European market but could these machines be used in Texas without modifications?
As far as I know the pressure vessels (PED approved) doesn't have to be ASME approved since Texas is a "boiler state" and these pressure vessel doesn't include heaters to boil anything. It this the case?
Also what other "directives" and laws apply on such machine in Texas?
For example, in europe that machine has to fulfill these directives in order to be CE marked:
Pressure Equipment directive Directive 97/23/EEC
Low voltage directive Directive 2006/95EC
EMC directive Directive 2004/108/EC
CE marking directive Directive 93/68/EEC
Machinery directive Directive 2006/42/EC
DO you have some ideas who to contact about these things?
Looking forward to your replays.

If you review the EU codes and find them to be technically equivalent to the BPVC then you've probably done your due diligence, but check with a lawyer.
