Foreword
This document CEN/TR 14549:2004 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 12 “Materials,
equipment and offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Annexes A, B, C, D and E are informative.
th
The European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), Directive 97/23/EC, entered into force on 29 November 1999
and has been mandatory throughout all Member States of the EU and the rest of the European Economic Area
th
(EEA) on 30 May 2002. The prime purpose of the PED is to eliminate barriers to trade without detriment to safety.
In May 1985, European Community Ministers agreed on a New Approach to Technical Harmonisation and
Standards in order to fulfil the objective of an open market in Europe with free movement of goods. New Approach
Directives such as the PED set out essential safety requirements which must be met.
This document has been developed in order to facilitate PED compliance with respect to the current industry
practice for piping that is based on ANSI/ASME B31.3.
This document is technically identical to the EEMUA publication 202 and its Amendment 1 published in May 2002.
This CEN Technical Report cannot provide a presumption of conformity with the PED, therefore the essential safety
requirements of the PED should be followed and seen to be followed in full.

Introduction
This Guide explains how to use ISO 15649 and ANSI/ASME B31.3 while also complying with the European
Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), for piping in Europe Union and other EEA countries. This Guide is intended
to facilitate discussions between owner/purchaser, manufacturer/designer and notified body leading to conformity
with the PED in a consistent manner.
In general, the PED acts as a jurisdictional regulation with emphasis on general requirements, while for the details
of design and construction, reference needs to be made to appropriate engineering standards. ANSI/ASME B31.3
Code is a standard addressing design, fabrication, examination and testing of piping systems. Its use is subject to
contractual agreements between the owner and the manufacturer/ assembler of a piping system. The PED does
not prohibit the use of ANSI/ASME B31.3 (or indeed of any code), however the requirements specified in the PED
should be fulfilled.
Review of ANSI/ASME B31.3 against the Articles and the essential safety requirements (ESRs) of the PED has
shown that:
some Articles and ESRs are satisfied by ANSI/ASME B31.3;
some Articles and ESRs are not addressed by ANSI/ASME B31.3;
some aspects of ANSI/ASME B31.3 differ from the Articles and ESRs.
The PED is transposed and translated by each Member State into its national legislation. Users are advised to
review the translation implemented in the relevant Member State in order to ensure full regulatory compliance. (The
relevant document in the UK is The Pressure Equipment Regulations 1999, SI 1999 No 2001.) National legislation
can also include requirements outside the scope of the PED, for example for in-service inspection.
The full text of the PED can be found at the European Commission's PED website. The European Commission also
publishes Guidelines approved by the Commission’s Working Group Pressure (WGP) that, while not legally
binding, are intended to provide more detail on how to apply the PED. References in the present document to
"Guideline x/x" pertain to the WGP Guidelines. See also annex E.
Europia has published a guide for the oil industry on the use of the PED with particular emphasis on refinery
operations, whilst EEMUA has published a guide for purchasers of valves under the PED (EEMUA Publication
196).
NOTE ON UNIT OF PRESSURE Throughout the text of this Guide, "bar" signifies gauge pressure (above atmospheric).
1 Scope
This Guide is intended for use in the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical industries. It identifies and defines a
set of common additional and modified requirements to ISO 15649 and ANSI/ASME B31.3 necessitated by the
PED. Additional guidance is provided by a suite of annexes (A to E) which are intended to be read independently,
but in the context of the main text. These include an actions checklist, tables identifying key requirements of the
PED and the corresponding clauses of the ISO/ANSI–ASME standards, and supplementary information.
ISO 15649 incorporates ANSI/ASME B31.3 by normative reference and also contains additional common
international practice. The relationships are illustrated in Figure 1.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this Technical Report, the terms and definitions given in ISO 15649:2001, ANSI/ASME
B31.3:1999 and the PED apply. Piping is defined in Article 1, sub-clause 2.1.2 of the PED applied.
4 General
4.1 Scope of the PED
The PED applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies
with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar. "Pressure equipment" means vessels, piping, safety
accessories (devices to prevent overpressure, e.g. safety valves) and pressure accessories (operational devices
with pressure-bearing housings, e.g. valves). "Assemblies" means several pieces of pressure equipment
assembled to constitute an integrated and functional whole (see Guidelines 3/8 and 3/9). This scope differs from
the scope of ANSI/ASME B31.3, for example piping systems for less than 1 bar pressure and for non-flammable,
non-toxic etc. service are excluded from ANSI/ASME B31.3.
The PED applies to new equipment. For further details see the PED Preamble and Article 1. Repairs to piping are
not covered by the PED, but may be covered by national regulations (Guideline 1/3). A modification where the
content, main purpose and safety systems remain essentially the same, may be regarded as non-important and
outside the scope of the PED (Guideline 1/4).
For further guidance on assemblies, see also other Guidelines prefaced "3/"
4.2 Responsibilities
ISO 15649 and ANSI/ASME B31.3 specify responsibilities for owner, designer, manufacturer and
fabricator/assembler. ANSI/ASME B31.3 does not address the issue of third party involvement, this would be a
requirement of jurisdictional regulations.
However, under the PED the "manufacturer" is responsible for design including certain design conditions, for
manufacture and for conformance with the PED. The manufacturer's responsibilities as defined in the PED could
fall to a designer, an importer, an owner, or an engineering contractor. The assigning of the manufacturer's
responsibilities would be agreed by the parties to a contract, and may need to be defined for each component and
assembly. (For further information on the responsibilities of the manufacturer, the reader is referred to the
European Commission's Guide to the Implementation of Directives based on the New Approach and the Global
Approach.)
4.3 Fluid groups
The manufacturer is responsible for classifying the fluid as Group 1 or 2, as required by PED Article 9, in
accordance with Table 1 below.
6
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
SIST-TP CEN/TR 14549:2004
CEN/TR 14549:2004 (E)
Table 1 – Fluid groups
Fluid group (Gas or Liquid) Fluids defined as
Group 1
–explosive
– extremely flammable
– highly flammable
– flammable (where the maximum allowable
temperature is above the flash point)
–very toxic
–toxic
– oxidizing
Group 2 All other fluids not in Group 1
Two-phase fluids should be treated as gases.
The fluid service categories (normal fluid service, category D, category M) as defined in annex M of ANSI/ASME
B31.3:1999 are not directly related to the fluid groups in PED. Note that Category M applies to toxic fluids,
Category D to non-toxic, non-flammable, non-dangerous, low-pressure and moderate temperature fluids.
4.4 Conformity assessment categories
The manufacturer is responsible for classifying the piping into the appropriate conformity assessment category in
accordance with the PED Annex II, Tables 6, 7, 8, 9, (see Figure 2 below) depending on the state (gas or liquid),
fluid group, pressure and nominal diameter (DN). The purpose of the category is to aid selection of an appropriate
conformance assessment module, where Category I is the lowest and Category III is the highest shown in the
Tables for piping. Category IV (shown in tables for other equipment) may also be applied to piping (see 4.5 below).
The demarcation lines in the conformity assessment tables extracted from the PED (see Figure 2) indicate the
upper limit for each category. (It should be noted that the figures are plotted on a log-log scale. For a linear-linear
representation, see EEMUA Pub. 196.)
PED Article 3, clause 3 requires that piping below the Category I limits be in accordance with the Sound
Engineering Practice (SEP) of a Member State.
The fluid service categories (D, M) in ANSI/ASME B31.3 are not related to the conformity assessment categories in
the PED.

4.5 Conformity assessment procedures
Conformity assessment is required in order to demonstrate that the essential safety requirements are satisfied
(PED Article 10).
The conformity assessment procedures are specified in modules available for each Category as set out in Tables 2
and 3 below.

F Product verification
G Unit verification Unit verification
H Quality assurance for design, manufacture, final inspection and test
H1 Quality assurance for design, manufacture, final inspection and test, with design examination
and monitoring of final assessment
The conformity assessment procedures corresponding to the modules are set out in PED Annex III. The
procedures may include internal production control, third party inspection, and quality assurance. It is for the
manufacturer to choose, depending on the Category, whether he wishes to opt for a module that requires full QA
with just auditing by a notified body, or for a module with full third party inspection, or for a module with a
combination. The execution of the procedure is by the manufacturer, notified body, user inspectorate or third party
organisation (PED Article 13), depending on the Category.
The owner or user may specify in the contract the module that is preferred. The manufacturer can always choose to
use a module from a higher Category, e.g. from Category IV (PED Article 10, clause 1.4 and Guideline 2/11).
Piping in Category I and SEP does not require the involvement of notified bodies. For piping using modules for
Categories II and III, a notified body will need to be involved, except for those modules where a user inspectorate is
permitted. User inspectorates are not permitted to apply any of the Category III modules (the highest piping
Category). However Category IV permits the use of Module G, which can be applied by user inspectorates (PED
Article 14, clause 6). It may therefore be to the user’s advantage to choose to apply that Category IV module to
Category III piping. It should be further noted that the use of a module from a higher Category does not change the
classification of the equipment being assessed (Guideline 2/11).
9
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST-TP CEN/TR 14549:2004
CEN/TR 14549:2004 (E)
For conformity assessment Modules A1, C1, F and G, designated user inspectorates may carry out the tasks of
notified bodies within their own organisations. The CE marking is not to be affixed to pressure equipment and
assemblies assessed by a user inspectorate.
For piping below the Category I limits conformity assessment is not required, but requirements for design,
manufacture, instructions for use and markings should be in accordance with SEP of a Member State (see 4.4
above). It is expected that the basic requirements of ANSI/ASME B31.3 will be considered generally acceptable in
the Member States.
Once conformity assessment has been completed, the manufacturer is required to affix the CE marking (PED
Article 15) and draw up a declaration of conformity (PED Annex VII). It should be noted that the manufacturer is not
required by the PED to provide the declaration of conformity to the user (see 7.3.4 below).
4.6 Hazard analysis
Hazard analysis is fundamental to the design process. Where the manufacturer of the equipment is not cognisant
of overall HAZOP studies, he should be made aware of the scope of his responsibilities in respect of hazards on
account of pressure.
After the manufacturer has ascertained or determined the operating conditions of the equipment (e.g. pressure,
temperature, fluid etc.), and their limits, he should complete a hazard analysis (see Guideline 8/4) which will enable
the essential requirements which are applicable to the equipment to be identified.
The results of this analysis (applicable essential requirements in relation to the foreseeable operating conditions)
shall be included in the technical documentation, but the inclusion of full details of the analysis in the
documentation is not required by PED.
5 Materials
5.1 Material selection and appraisal
The current engineering practice where designers using ANSI/ASME B31.3 would normally select one of the code's
listed materials or established alternatives, and would base calculations on the material's listed properties, differs
from that of the PED. Under the PED the manufacturer needs to adhere to the essential safety requirements of that
Directive by using appropriate materials (pipe, flanges, elbows, weldolets and other piping components) satisfying
one of the following conditions:
a) conforming to a harmonised standard;
b) covered by a European Approval of Materials (EAM) in accordance with PED Article 11;
c) evaluated by a Particular Material Appraisal (PMA) (see Guideline 9/13); PMAs may be carried out in
accordance with EN 764-4.
Materials that comply with harmonised standards mandated under the PED or have EAM status ((a) and (b) above)
are published in the Official Journal of the European Communities and listed on the PED website. ASTM piping
materials are not generally included in the European harmonised standards.
For traditional ASME/ASTM materials the options are (b) and (c) above. However, to date (2003) materials
applications submitted via the EAM route have been contested under the PED Article 11 process and are currently
unsuccessful.
It is envisaged that the PMA route will be the one by which non-harmonised materials will be approved for the
foreseeable future. Timing and process will need to be managed in order to avoid additional costs and project
delays. The PMA is valid only for a particular application and is part of the technical documentation provided by the
manufacturer. It should be noted that for pressurised parts to be used in Category III piping, the PMA needs to be
performed by the notified body responsible for undertaking the conformity assessment for the piping system.

5.2 Material certification
For material certification see Guidelines 7/5, 7/7, 7/8. The material manufacturer shall provide a certificate of
specific product control for main pressure bearing parts of piping in Categories II and III. For metallic materials
these are inspection certificates EN 10204 type 3.1.B and type 3.1.C, and inspection reports EN 10204 type 3.2.
Guideline 7/5 offers greater detail, Guideline 7/7 relates to quality control.
