PED — Pressure Equipment Directive Certification
Certify your pressure equipment to the EU Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU for legal access to the European market.
Meet EU Pressure Standards. Certify with PED.
PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) is a European regulatory framework that governs the design, manufacture, testing, and conformity assessment of pressure equipment sold within the European Union. The current directive is the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU.
At Q’mArk Group, we guide manufacturers through the complete PED certification journey — from applicability determination and design review to material approval, testing, and conformity assessment — helping you achieve legal access to the European market.
What Products Are Covered Under PED
PED applies to pressure equipment with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar, including pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, pressure piping systems, safety valves and pressure accessories, and industrial pressure equipment.
Access to the European Market
PED certification provides legal access to sell pressure equipment across the European Union.
Demonstrates Compliance with EU Safety Requirements
Certification confirms your equipment meets EU pressure safety and conformity assessment requirements.
Improves Customer Confidence
PED certification signals verified safety and quality to distributors and end customers.
Required for CE Marking of Pressure Equipment
PED compliance is a prerequisite for applying the CE mark to pressure equipment.
Process to Obtain PED Certification
Determine Applicability
Identify whether your equipment falls under PED and classify it based on pressure, volume, fluid type, and risk category.
Design Review
Prepare engineering drawings, calculations, and design documents, and ensure compliance with applicable harmonised standards (such as EN standards).
Material Approval
Verify materials used comply with PED requirements. [[PLACEHOLDER — steps after Material Approval (e.g. testing, conformity assessment, certificate issuance) were cut off; please share the rest]]
