Pressure equipment sector

The industrial sector of pressure equipment covers 3 directives under the responsibility of Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs

These directives, together with the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive 2010/35/EC (TPED), provide for an adequate legislative framework at European level for equipment presenting a pressure hazard.
