Since 1999 the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED) has been in force to set the standard for the design and manufacture of pressure equipment in the European Union. As of 2002 the directive became mandatory legislation meaning any pressure equipment manufactured in the EU or pressure equipment that will enter into and be used in the EU must adhere to these guidelines.
