PED category Guide Netherlands Test pressure Order a report

Determine the PED category of your pressure equipment in one minute

Free classification under Directive 2014/68/EU for pressure vessels, industrial piping and boilers — including the permitted conformity assessment modules and the margin to the next category. Your input stays in your browser and is not stored.

Your equipment

Same rule engine as the Dutch site, verified integrally against OJ L 189, Annex II — 347 boundary cases and 134,090 differential comparisons in the test suite.

Indicative classification; it does not replace a conformity assessment or a notified body's decision. Exactly on a demarcation line the lower category applies (Annex II point 4). Portable extinguishers and breathing apparatus bottles follow special provisions and are outside this tool.

Everything about the PED, in the order you meet it

Free guide pages, each statement with its reference in the directive.

Free or full? This is the difference

The free check gives the answer — which category, which routes. The full report gives the execution — in which order, with which documents, and what to expect back from the notified body: a phased plan, the file checklist with the legal basis per item, the module choice worked out, the test pressure with its normative basis, and the Dutch in-service chapter for equipment operated in the Netherlands. Up to 26 pages, matched to your category, delivered in English.

€ 49 (SEP and category I)  ·  € 99 (categories II–IV) — prices include Dutch VAT; for EU business customers outside the Netherlands with a valid VAT number the reverse-charge mechanism applies.
