Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) Classification Guide for Regulator Products Introduction The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU requires pressure equipment destined for Europe to have a CE mark and that the equipment meet all aspects of the directive except where noted for SEP. The PED is a directive that applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and pressure assemblies. All equipment covered by the directive must comply with essential safety requirements and meet the equivalent national laws of all member countries. PED Classification To ensure that products destined for Europe meet the requirements of PED, it is necessary to determine the proper PED classification. In the PED, pressure equipment can be classified in one of the following categories:   •  SEP (Sound Engineering Practice)   •  Category I   •  Category II   •  Category III   •  Category IV SEP Products The SEP classification applies to pressure equipment that is not subject to Category I, II, III or IV conformity assessment, but must be designed and manufactured with “sound engineering practice” as defined by the PED. SEP classified products do not and cannot receive a CE mark. Product Classification Use Tables 1 to 5 to find the PED category of a specific product. Note Any specific type number, body size or body material not included in the PED Product Classification table is not available for sale into Europe. Products can only be processed per classification specified in the PED Products Classification table. Due to PED Classification limitations, some products may not be available at full rated pressures. Be sure to check the PED Limitation column in the PED Product Classification table.
