PED on mill test reports?
PED on mill test reports?
(OP)
If ped is a safety directive and not a spec. Why are my customers asking for CE to be on our test reports? Our mills don't even know anything about the Pressure Equipment Directive. We are a service center that buys directly from the mill and may cut bar to length. What should we be doing with respect to PED?





RE: PED on mill test reports?
The PED requires that for pressure part materials, the mill supplies a certificate of specific product control. In other words a mill certificate including test reports as per referenced material standard. The tests shall be witnessed by an approved third party of the Community.
If the mill has an quality system that is approved by a competent body established within the Community , the tests may be witnessed by the QC department of the mill.
