CE MARKING OF PRESSURE EQUIPMENT & SIMPLE PRESSURE VESSELS
CE Marking of pressure equipment is mandatory for placing pressure equipment into the European market in accordance with European Directive 2014/68/EU.
CE marking of Simple Pressure Vessels is mandatory for placing the equipments into the European market in accordance with European Directive 2014/29/EU and addressed to the manufacturers of Simple Pressure Vessel.
The term Pressure Equipment can refer to vessels, piping systems under pressure, safety accessories and pressure accessories. Characteristic examples are gas vessels, ammonia vessels, steam boilers, steam generators.

WHAT IS CE MARKING OF PRESSURE EQUIPMENT & SIMPLE PRESSURE VESSELS
The European Union's 'New Approach directives' are mandatory for all member countries and must be enacted through national legislation. The European Union's 'New Approach directives' legislation requires manufacturers to display CE Marking on their product, packaging and accompanying literature. Where a new approach directive is in force, it is (with few exceptions) an offence to place a product on the market without CE Marking. The manufacturer is legally responsible for ensuring that the product adheres to the requirements of the directive and for applying CE Marking.
CE Marking is an important measure implemented by the EU in order to establish a single market and foster economic development for the member states. The objective of the directives is to simplify the movement of goods within the EU. This may eventually lead to the free movement of goods throughout Europe as more and more European countries are expected to join the EU. The European Commission thus refers to CE Marking as a "Passport" which allows products to freely circulate within the EU market.
