A, HAZARD CHECK LIST FOR REBOILERS PIPING

Forward: P.E.D Essential Safety Requirements DOCUMENT NUMBER RB-HCL Rev.0

ISSUE DATE : 27.12.2016
The Pressure European Directive 97/23/EC (P.E.D) places full responsibility upon the manufacturer of piping to comply with the provisions of
the Directive. On completion of all design, manufacturing, inspection and testing procedures, and after verification of conformity the
manufacturer can make a Declaration of Conformity with the P.E.D. The manufacturer can then affix the CE marking which ensures that the
equipment will have freedom of movement within the European Community.

An important requirement is that the manufacturer must comply with all Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) in Annex 1 of the P.E.D which
are relevant to the equipment for which he makes the Declaration of Conformity.

In the following table, all ESRs are presented, and it is shown by reference to the relevant clauses in ASME B31.3, that the manufacturer has
taken all the necessary steps to meet the ESRs either by Code provisions or by other means.
