Efficiency and cost benefits
Royal & SunAlliance can advise on every aspect of product conformity from design checking, using our
in-house calculation programs and finite element analysis, to inspection and quality assurance.
Our conformity assessment service involves reviewing the design and construction of items of industrial
plant to recognised codes of practice. The service assesses the suitability of new equipment in relation
to the latest legislation.
Royal & SunAlliance has considerable expertise in auditing systems for compliance with both stated and
intended purposes and our consultants take a pragmatic approach to satisfying client requirements.
A question of confidence
The purpose of the conformity assessment is to provide confidence to purchasers and suppliers that
plant and machinery is safe to operate and conforms to any legislative requirements.
Product conformity advice may be routine or technically complex depending on client needs. We
understand that product conformity can have a major impact on a company's ability to deliver its product on
time. That's why our technical consultants are on hand to guide our clients through what can be a potential
minefield of legislation.
Payback on investment in equipment relies on new plant and machinery being completed on time and within
budget, while meeting quality, safety and environmental protection standards. Just one piece missing in the
jigsaw could mean financial disaster.
This combination of complex contractual specifications, statutory requirements, product conformance and
the need to source manufactured items from different locations can make this process extremely
challenging.
Highly Trained Personnel
All our personnel are trained to the highest national and international standards and work to rigorous
management systems using the very latest computer technology. Our product conformity services are
currently used by many different industries ranging from the power industry (nuclear, fossil, and renewable)
to petrochemicals, defence, and even the space industry.
Organisations that use our services to carry out conformity assessments also benefit from our many
accreditations which authorise us to inspect equipment worldwide.

Materials
The manufacturer must take appropriate measures to ensure that the material conforms with
the specification.
For main pressure bearing parts for Pressure Equipment of PED categories II, III & IV, material
must be issued with a certificate of specific product control (e.g. EN 10204 3.1b)
The material manufacturer shall have an appropriate QA system (e.g. ISO 9000) certified by a
competent body established within the EC and having undergone a specific assessment for
materials. Failure to comply with thismeans the manufacturer must take appropriate measures.
Currently the main route to use material for the PED is the PMA.
If the pressure equipment is PED category III or IV the notified body (e.g. RSACS) must perform
the PMA.
It is useful to combine the PMA with verification that the other ESR's for Materials have been
complied with. An optional pro-forma approach to this is given below.

Boilers
Check PED Classification for a PED Boiler
Boilers and the PED
All types of boilers are covered by the PED, including shell boilers,
water tube boilers, loco-boilers and electrode-heated boilers.
Boilers must comply with all of the essential safety requirements.
Particular note should be taken of Essential Safety Requirement 5 :
"Fired or otherwise Heated Pressure Equipment with a risk of
Overheating.
Many boilers are sold as a "package boiler" including the boiler (vessel) itself as well as
safety accessories (protective devices), pressure accessories (e.g. valves, pressure gauges
etc.) and piping. This constitues an assembly.
There are ESR's for assemblies, namely ESR 2.8, but in addition the PED specifies
requirements for Global Conformity
The global conformity requirements are not specified in the "DTI Blue Book", but are listed
in the PED - Council Directive 97/23/EC, Article 10, Clause 2. This must be complied with.
Royal & SunAlliance Certification Services has many years experience in undertaking
design assessments and code inspections for boiler equipment, and also has a representative
on the committee for the new (unpublished) European Standard for Shell Boilers.

Pressure Vessels
Check PED Classification for a Pressure Vessel
Pressure Vessels and the PED
Pressure Vessels must comply with all of the essential safety requirements
listed within the PED (except ESR 5 and 6 if not applicable).
The PED covers all pressure vessels, over 0.5 Barg (i.e. not vacuum
vessels). It includes all different types of pressure vessels, including heat
exchangers, reactor vessels, cryogenic vessels, GRP vessel etc. etc.
Pressure equipment can be designed by finite element
analysis - ESR 2.2.3 (a) : Design by analysis.
Royal & SunAlliance Engineering has
experts with many years experience of design by FEA,
who can undertake FEA on your behalf for design
optimisation or modelling equipment outside of the scope
of pressure vessel design codes.
Many pressure vessels are sold complete with safety accessories (protective devices),
pressure accessories (e.g. valves, pressure gauges etc.) and piping.
This constitues an assembly. Note : The safety accessory must be at least the same PED
category as the item of equipment it is protecting.
There are ESR's for assemblies, namely ESR 2.8, but in addition the PED specifies
requirements for Global Conformity
The global conformity requirements are not specified in the "DTI Blue Book", but are listed
in the PED - Council Directive 97/23/EC, Article 10, Clause 2. This must be complied with.
Royal & SunAlliance Certification Services has many years experience in undertaking
design assessments and code inspections for pressure vessels, and also has a representative
on the committee for the new (unpublished) European Standard for unfired pressure vessels.

Piping
Check PED Classification for PED Piping
Piping and the PED
Piping must comply with all of the requirements of the PED, particular
attention is drawn to Essential Safety Requirement 6 : Piping.
Heat exchangers and pressure accessories can be classified as piping
for the PED if the classification is more meaningful than it would be for
vessels.
Piping very often incorparates numerous pressure accessories, safety
accessories (protective devices) as well as the actual 'pipework' itself.
In this instance the equipment is classified as an assembly.
There are ESR's for assemblies, namely ESR 2.8, but in addition the PED specifies
requirements for Global Conformity
The global conformity requirements are not specified in the "DTI Blue Book", but are listed
in the PED - Council Directive 97/23/EC, Article 10, Clause 2. This must be complied with.
Royal & SunAlliance Engineering has engineers who can undertake
pipework flexibility analysis in accordance to piping codes (e.g. ASME B31.1, BS 806 etc.)
on your behalf, and offer guidance for pipework design

PED Essential Safety Requirements - Comparison with BS 5500 and ASME VIII Div 1
The European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC, (PED), places full responsibility upon the manufacturer of
pressure equipment to comply with the provisions of the Directive. On completion of all design, manufacturing,
inspection and testing procedures, and after verification of conformity, the manufacturer can make a Declaration of
Conformity with the PED. The manufacturer can then affix the CE marking which ensures that the equipment will have
freedom of movement within the European Community.
An important requirement is that the manufacturer must comply with all the Essential Safety Requirements, (ESRs), in
Annex 1 of the PED which are relevant to the equipment for which he makes the Declaration of Conformity.
The following table provides a summary of all the ESRs and shows, by reference to the relevant clauses in BS 5500 and
ASME VIII Div 1, where it is considered that these codes satisfy the ESRs.
Numbers in brackets refer to notes at the end of the table.
