Programming mandate to CEN/CENELEC related to pressure equipment
This mandate directs CEN and CENELEC to develop and maintain European standards related to pressure equipment. It establishes a programming framework for standardisation activities to support safety, interoperability, and regulatory compliance within the pressure equipment sector. The initiative aims to ensure harmonised standards that facilitate market access and enhance the safety and performance of pressure equipment across the European Union.
Purpose
The mandate M/BC/CEN/92/1 concerns programming activities related to standardisation in the field of pressure equipment. It aims to coordinate and guide the development of European standards to support regulatory and market needs for pressure equipment, ensuring safety, interoperability, and compliance within the European Union.
Standardisation request
The Commission requests CEN and CENELEC to undertake programming activities in the area of pressure equipment. This includes setting priorities for the development, revision, and harmonisation of European standards relevant to pressure equipment, covering aspects such as design, manufacturing, testing, and conformity assessment procedures.
Expected deliverables
CEN and CENELEC are expected to deliver a structured programme outlining planned standardisation work, including identified areas for new or updated standards. These deliverables should facilitate regulatory alignment and meet industry and stakeholder requirements related to pressure equipment safety and performance.
