Pellet boiler and PED
Pellet boiler and PED
(OP)
Greetings,
I'm an intern in my firm that makes pellet boilers, and they've put me in charge of CE issue. Needless to say, I'm in way over my head.
Anyways, could someone guide me a bit with PE directive, mainly with Article 1, section 3.6 (here are excludes from the Directive listed):
and the Article 9 says:
The thing is, I just simply cannot grasp the 3.6. Does that means that:
if IT IS a dangerous fluid (it's category I), then it can be excluded from PED (b/c it falls under eg. Machinery); or
if IT'S NOT a dangerous fluid (it's category II), and it falls under Machinery, than it can be excluded from PED
I have older reports for these pellet boilers from independent laboratories, and nobody even mentions PED.
Thank you.

Quote (PED)
equipment classified as no higher than category I under Article 9 of this Directive and covered by one of the following Directives. ...
and the Article 9 says:
Quote (PED)
For the purposes of such classification fluids shall be divided into two groups in accordance with 2.1 and 2.2.
2.1 Group 1 comprises of dangerous fluids. A dangerous fluid is a substance or preparation covered by definitions in Article 2 (2) of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances. ... 2.2. Group 2 comprises all other fluids not referred to in 2.1.
The thing is, I just simply cannot grasp the 3.6. Does that means that:

Thank you.

It is obvious that more restrictive for dangerous fluids!

But if you are new to the directive - I understand your frustration. It takes a while to get used to.
RE: Pellet boiler and PED
Yeah, I'm quite new to this. And it's frustrating as hell.

Second you classify. You could use the PED category selector app or the PED calculator software form here:

Then, if your equipment is classified as not PED (<0,5 barg), art. 3.3 or cat I, you should follow another directive mentioned in art. I if applicable. If there is no other directive mentioned in art.I applicable, you have to apply the PED.
