EEMUA has released Edition 2 of EEMUA Publication 237, UK Pressure Equipment – Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations: Global conformity assessment – a guide to site installed assemblies.
The new edition takes account of the separation activities of the UK from the EU and provides guidance to avoid non-conformity of pressure equipment against legal requirements when it is assembled on the site of a user. It specifically gives guidance to avoid problems that can arise when Global Conformity Assessment is carried out.
EEMUA 237 provides guidance to help users, manufacturers, project engineers, installation contractors, and other parties to achieve their legal duties and ensure pressure equipment and Written Schemes of Examination can be certified prior to use, particularly when assembly has taken place on users’ sites.
Reference is made to the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations, Pressure Systems Safety Regulations and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations.
The publication was revised through a collaboration of engineers and representatives from the Pressure Equipment Consultation Forum (PECF), the Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA), the Safety Assessment Federation (SAFed), LRQA (an assurance provider) and other stakeholders within the pressure equipment industry. It incorporates advice from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
