Join us on 3 December 2026 for this interactive webinar, 'Pressure Equipment Directive: A Practical Introduction'. Explore how PED classification drives conformity assessment decisions, and how early route selection can reduce uncertainty before equipment is placed on the market. Designed for manufacturers, engineering and quality teams, and those responsible for compliance or procurement, this session is not one to miss! Register today.
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) sets safety requirements for pressure equipment placed on the EU market. Understanding which rules apply, how equipment is classified, and what that classification means for conformity assessment is crucial before equipment is brought to market.
Join LRQA for a practical webinar on PED classification, conformity assessment and the key decisions involved in bringing pressure equipment to market. We will explain how equipment type, maximum allowable pressure, size and fluid affect classification, what the resulting category means, and when a Notified Body or UK Approved Body may need to be involved.
The session will also demonstrate how LRQA’s PED Calculator can provide an indicative category and show the conformity assessment modules that may be available for the selected equipment details.
What we’ll explore:
- What PED covers and how UK market requirements differ
- Which equipment details to establish before selecting an assessment route
- How PED categories affect conformity assessment
- When a Notified Body or UK Approved Body may be required
- How to use the LRQA PED Calculator to identify possible next steps
- When to confirm a classification with an expert
There will also be an opportunity to ask our expert your questions during a live Q&A.
This webinar will offer useful detail for people familiar with PED while remaining accessible to those building their understanding.
