PED 97/23/EC Certification for suppliers outside EEC
PED 97/23/EC Certification for suppliers outside EEC
(OP)
Dear all,
I have a question about PED certification related to delivery of materials from example Asia to be used in pressure equipment were the PED is applicable.
Situation: We buy a complete machined forged tubesheet from an Asian company and use this in a heat exchanger were the PED is applicable. This company is certified according for PED by an Asian notified body.
Question: Shall this company be certified by an European notified body or is an Asian sufficient for PED certification?
If yes or no please explain the reason.
Thanks in advance,
Euroweld

see Guideline 7/16, 7/2: http://
An Asian company may carry out this certification only if the are established on European territory. Otherwise I would have strong doubts if this certificate is not a falsification like several others I saw.
But this quality system certification is needed only when the material manufacturer delivers the material with a 3.1 material certificate. If the material is delivered with 3.2 certificate, a quality system certificate is not needed, see guideline 7/5, direct inspection route.
In any case, the pressure equipment manufacturer is the only legal responsible for a careful choice of his material supplier and of the correct certification.

A material manufacturer should know the regulation that only accredited bodies have the right to certify the QA-system and to carry out the specific assessment of materials required in the PED. If a material manufacturer does not even know this, I would not trust in his QA-system at all.
