This course provides comprehensive coverage of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), a key legislative framework established by the European Union. It outlines the legal requirements governing pressurized systems installed and traded within the European Economic Area.

Since the PED is a legal document, it’s understandable that not all engineers are familiar with its details—after all, legal texts aren’t exactly the most exciting reads! However, it plays a vital role in defining the compliance standards essential for the safe installation of pressurized systems in Europe.

Our course equips you with the understanding needed to effectively engage with the PED, helping you apply critical thinking and engineering expertise to interpret its requirements and develop well-structured responses that align with regulatory standards.

To bring these concepts to life, we incorporate recent pressure equipment failures as practical examples of what to avoid. You’ll work through Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs), Assessment Procedures, and Documentation standards, ensuring you gain the skills necessary to demonstrate your business’s commitment to maintaining these critical regulatory obligations.
