Pressure Equipment, examination of commissioning and reinspection during using phase
According to the provisions resulting from the European directive 2014/68/EU (PED) for pressure equipment, it is determined
that the rules for pressure equipment shall apply to the FX-Prevent LOX system. Pressure equipment which has been brought
on the market in the Netherlands must meet the obligations arising from the Dutch Pressure Equipment Act.
The Dutch Pressure Equipment Act describes an inspection before putting into use and a periodic re-inspection, after every 4
years, of the pressure equipment. The Dutch Pressure Equipment Act describes the user as the responsible party for this. The
user should take note of the prescribed inspections and re-inspections and should take care of this. FX-Prevent offers the
possibility to take on a facilitating role in this.
For pressure equipment that is brought on the market outside The Netherlands, the obligations from the Dutch Pressure
Equipment Act are not applicable. For pressure equipment that is brought on the market outside The Netherlands, the local
laws and regulations concerning pressure equipment in that country must be complied with.
The inspection before commissioning of the pressure equipment, when applicable, consists of the following:
•
The verification of the pressure equipment according to the manual and markings;
•
The audit of the external condition of the pressure equipment;
•
The audit of the safety devices and pressure accessories of the operation;
•
The audit of the setup of the pressure equipment.
The requalification of the pressure equipment after 4 years, when applicable, consists of the
following:
•
Checking the internal condition of the pressure equipment by an internal investigation or other suitable research
focused on the internal state;
•
Checking of the external condition of the pressure device;
•
Preparation of Report of Renewal and determination of validity;
Replacing of spring safety valves.
