CEN is developing European Standards that cover a wide range of products, materials and methods to ensure an appropriate level of safety throughout the European Union for pressure equipment.
The directives for Pressure Equipment (PED) 97/23/EC and Simple Pressure Vessels 87/404/EEC are so called 'New Approach' directives.
CEN Technical Committees working in the pressure equipment sector develop standards that support the essential safety requirements of these directives.
