4. P E D Pressure Equipment Directive.What,which module ?

5. CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT via MODULES
PED Article 10
WHY AN ASSESSMENT SYSTEM IS NEEDED ?
because it is so easy to interpret or understand wrongly
because we ”interpret” in different ways (so called culture) < = > 200 Guidelines needed !
Because we in EU want to have safe products which can move freely. OK ?

6. CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT
TO SELECT THE ”BEST” CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE:
You (manufacturer) must know the category of the product :
BUT
The customer (perhaps a Notified Body?) might have special needs and wants a certain other category to the product. Not OK !
( local habits, traditions, inspectors guidance,…, easier for the futher production, special fluid.. )

7. PED, recital 19 (the pre-text in the directive):
MODULES
PED, recital 19 (the pre-text in the directive):
”…in view of the nature of hazards involved in the use of PE, it is necessary to establish procedures for assessing compliance with the basic requirements of the directive …” => MODULES
”…procedures must be devised (designed) in the light of (taking into consideration) the level of danger which is inherent (permanent) in the PE ” => CATEGORIES
recital 26: ”…requirements laid down in Annexes…, to allow all users incl. SMS to comply with them easily.”

8. CATEGORIES & MODULES PED Annex III CATEGORY I MODULE A CATEGORY II

9. THE 13 MODULES of PED: DC = declaration of conformity, FIAS = final assessment M = manufacturer, NB = notified body
Procedure
for Design
for Manufacturing
A Internal production control
M makes tech. papers
FIAS by M
A1 =A+ monitrng of FIAS
FIAS by M, NB monitors
B EC-type examination
NB examines the conformity of the type
use C1, D , E or F
B1 EC-design examination
NB examines the conformity of the design
use D or F
C1 Conformity to type
EC type-examination

10. THE 13 MODULES of PED: DC = declaration of conformity, FIAS = final assessment M= manufacturer, NB=notified body
Procedure
for Design
for Manufacturing
D Production quality assurance
EC type - (B) or design-examination (B1)
M applies in production, testing and FIAS a Quality system, which is approved by accredited body and then approval by the NB
D1 Production quality assurance
M makes the tech.documentation
- as above at D -
E Product quality assurance
EC type-examination (B)
- as above at D, but not in production
E1 Product quality assurance
- as above at E -

11. THE 13 MODULES of PED: DC = declaration of conformity, FIAS = final assessment M= manufacturer, NB=notified body
Procedure
for Design
for Manufacturing
F Product verification
EC type - (B) or design-examntion (B1)
NB makes the FIAS of every product
G EC unit verification
NB makes the FIAS of the design
and of the manufacturing
H Full quality assurance
M applies in design, production, testing and for FIAS a Quality system, which is approved and controlled by the NB
H1 Product quality assurance
- as above at H plus: the NB makes the design-examination and monitors FIAS

12. MODULES, text from PED, Annex III , e.g.:
Module A (internal production control)
This module describes the procedure whereby the manufacturer,or his authorized representative established within the Community, who carries out the obligations laid down in section 2,
ensures and declares, that pressure equipment satisfies the requirements of the Directive which apply to it.
The manufacturer, or his authorized representative established within the Community, must affix the CE marking to each item of pressure equipment
and draw up a written declaration of conformity.

13. The manufacturer must:
- draw up the technical documentation described in section 3
- and either the manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the Community must keep it at the disposal of the relevant national authorities for inspection purposes for a period of ten years after the last of the pressure equipment has been manufactured.
Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorized representative is established within the Community, the obligation to keep the technical documentation available is the responsibility of
the person who places the pressure equipment on the Community market.

14. 3. The technical documentation must enable an assessment to be made of the conformity of the pressure equipment with the requirements of the Directive which apply to it.
It must, as far as is relevant for such assessment, cover the design, manufacture and operation of the pressure equipment and contain: …

16. Guideline related to: Annex III, module B1
Guideline 4/5 Final version as adopted on 26 June 2001 Pressure equipment directive 97/23/EC Commission’s WGP page1/2
Guideline related to: Annex III, module B1
Question: Clauses 3 and 4 of module B1 in Annex III deal with information concerning qualifications or approvals of permanent joining that may not be available at the design stage. What are the minimum requirements in clause 3, last indent, and clause 4.1, 2nd and 3rd indents?
Answer: Approval of operating procedures for permanent joining shall be made at the design stage, if not previously approved

17. page2/2
For the personnel performing permanent joining and non-destructive tests, the requirement at the design stage may be limited to the verification of the criteria for qualifications or approvals.
The need to perform the personnel approval verification at a later date before start of production should be pointed out in the design examination certificate.

18. Guideline related to : Article 10.2, Annex III
Guideline 4/6 Final version as adopted on 7 November 2000, Pressure equipment directive 97/23/EC Commission’s Working Group ”Pressure”
Guideline related to : Article 10.2, Annex III
Question : Can an assembly be composed of pressure equipment dealt with using different conformity assessment modules ?
Answer : Yes, by application of Article 10.2a).
For example, the valves can have a module different from that applied to the vessel or the piping on which they are placed.

Guideline 4/8 Final version as adopted on 26 June 2001 Pressure equipment directive 97/23/EC Commission’s WGP
Guideline related to: Annex III, B1, sections 4.2 and 4.3
Question: Are tests by the notified body required for B1?
Answer: No.
In contrast to module B, module B1 consists solely of the examination of drawings, calculations and relevant information concerning manufacturing. The experimental design method may not be used in this module. There are no examinations or tests to be performed on a representative example of the production envisaged.
See also guideline 4/5.

ORGALIME: also some which are not put into the Commission working group;
Notified Bodies: originally for their own use, to ”level” the understanding of what is ok what is not ok. Some of these ”silent TRGs” will end up as WPG, - I belive !
National interpretations: eg. in Finland => Painelaitteet => Kysymyksiä ja vastauksia,( also WPGs are there ).
