Directive (example)
1 PED: 1G | 2 Identification number of the notified body according
to the Pressure Equipment Directive | 3 "SIL 2" identification code
(optional)
Devices with PS ≤ 200 bar (20 MPa)
Devices with a permissible pressure PS ≤ 200 bar (20 MPa)
conform to sec. 3 para. (3) and have not been tested for
conformity. The devices have been constructed and
manufactured according to sound engineering practice (SEP).
The CE marking on the device does not refer to the Pressure
