EUROPEAN HARMONIZED STANDARD & PED 2014/68/EU

EN 13445

European Standard for Unfired Pressure Vessels

EN 13445 is the European harmonized standard for unfired pressure vessels, supporting the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). POLIEN Engineering prepares calculation packages and technical files 100% compliant with Notified Body inspection criteria (TÜV, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, etc.) for direct CE marking approval.
