PED 2014/68/EU Module A2
(OP)
Dear all engineers,
Is anyone of you familiar with Module A2 (or A1 in earlier PED)? Basically I would like to confirm the level of involvement of Notified Body in this module A2. For example, do we need to get the Notified Body to approve our design calculation and construction drawing? Or do we need to submit the design appraisal document to NoBo and get the approval before we start the fabrication?
Appreciate that if you can share with me the experience.
Thanks!
Cheers.

Most NoBo's use application forms which you can fill in when you have a new piece of pressure equipment.

Thanks for the info. In that case, do I still need to submit my construction drawings to NoBo prior to the fabrication?
Or they will just come for final assessment after the fabrication.
Thanks!

May I have one more question? How about Design Appraisal Document (DAD)? Do we need to furnish it and submit to Nobo before we start any fabrication for module A2?

I am familiar with the A1 of the PED/97, however not with the A2 of the PED/2014. The A1 was simple - you register the unit with your notified body, and once you were happy with the design, you could begin fabrication and then they would come and witness the final proof test and may do a documentation review, depending on your familiarity with the NoBo. Your documentation would contain design drawings, list of standards applied, any calculations carried out, test reports etc.
The A2 however may not be an inspection at the final proof test, however at random intervals throughout the fabrication process.
If you want the NoBo to sign off on the design, you would need to look at another assessment procedure, e.g. module G
