Harmonized Standards / Definition Designation used in New Approach Directives Legal term for European Standards, in the New Approach adopted by CEN, following a mandate by the European Commission after consultation of Member States, prepared in acc. with the General Guidelines

Harmonized Standards / Presumption of Conformity Compliance with harmonized standards, which reference numbers have been published in the Official Journal ... provides presumption of conformity to the corresponding essential requirements of the EC directive(s). (Annex I of PED).

Annex ZA. EN13445-3 (informative) Annex ZA EN13445-3 (informative) Clauses of this European Standard addressing essential requirements or other provisions of the EU Directives This European standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and supports essential requirements of the PED with regard to design of unfired pressure vessels The clauses of this standard given in Table ZA-1 are likely to support requirements of the PED. Compliance with these clauses of this standard provides one means of conforming with the specific essential safety requirements of the Directive concerned and associated EFTA regulations. WARNING: Other requirements and other EU Directives may be applicable to the product(s) falling within the scope of this standard.

Harmonized Standards / Usage Not mandatory – one means of complying with PED requirements Any other technical solution may be used provided that the PED requirements are met (and an at least equal level of safety is achieved) Guideline 9/5 Partial usage not forbidden, but the essential requirements covered shall be identified. Verification of compatibility and consistency required Guideline 9/6

Harmonized Standards / Annex I Annex I – Essential requirements The essential requirements are to be interpreted and applied in such a way as to take account of the state of the art and current practice at the time of design and manufacture as well as technical and economic considerations consistent with a high degree of health and safety protection

Usage of other standards Usage of other solutions does not give presumption of conformity (to the essential requirements of the Directive) Detailed description in Technical Documentation required Validation by Notified Body required, if module requires involvement Only the technical content of used document is relevant (not others related to e. g. conformity assessment) Guideline 9/5
