Why take this course?
This PED 2014/68/EU course explains the legal and engineering workflow for pressure equipment placed on the EEA market. It covers scope, classification, conformity-assessment routes, essential safety requirements, technical documentation, CE marking and an applied blowdown-tank case. This self-paced online course includes video lectures, knowledge-check quizzes and a completion certificate with PDH credits.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you...
• understand when the PED is applicable and how it relates to design codes,
• are aware of the processes and concepts of the PED,
• are able to use the PED and find the correct Conformity Assessment Procedure for your projects,
• know the concepts of the Essential Safety Requirements and understand terms like “Sound Engineering Practice”,
• will find it much easier to read the PED document when your project requires you to, thereby saving valuable time.

About the course
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) provides a set of rules and processes relevant to the design, manufacturing and trade of pressurized equipment used within the European Economic Area (EEA). This directive is implemented within the law of the EEA member states rendering them lawful requirements.
This course teaches you the concepts of the PED and the steps involved with performing a project accordingly. By means of a set of lectures and real-life cases you will learn the rules, scope, and limitations of the directive. Topics include Essential Safety Requirements, classification of equipment, CE-marking, the EU declaration of conformity, the role of Notified Bodies (NoBo) and the relation to industrial design codes (harmonized vs. non-harmonized).
