Spudton,

I don't have experience working with the EC but I'm always looking to expand my knowledge. You might find this of interest...

Here's a couple more...

It will be interesting to see what those who have experience with the EC have to say.

Good Luck!

In Europe we also use API RP 520 and 521 for relief valve sizing and installation. These API standards are basically considered "International Standards".

Well the PED DOES NOT contain a formula for sizing. Its actually referes to e.g. teh API520 for sizing. It mainly deals with the situations where a PSV is required.

Local laws may apply for each country especially for fired boilers and such i believe.

Bestregards

I happened to find this link recently and thought I would post it just as an additional reference to other European codes/standards that might apply....
