The course will address the relationship between the harmonised standards and the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) which became mandatory in May 2002.
Comprehensive course notes will be provided together with worked examples to show the application of principal the design rules.
Delegates should be aware that many of the design rules in EN 13445 Part 3 are similar to those in PD5500:2003. It may be more appropriate for delegates with considerable experience of PD5500 to attend the less formal one day course entitled 'EN 13445 & PD5500: A comparison' which focuses on the differences between the standards.
