This Directive applies to simple pressure vessels manufactured in
series.
For the purposes of this Directive, "simple pressure vessel" means any
welded vessel subjected to an internal gauge pressure greater than 0,5
bar which is intended to contain air or nitrogen and which is not
intended to be fired.
1. Directive 2009/105/EC of 16 September 2009 on the harmonisation of
the laws of the Member States relating to simple pressure vessels (OJ-L
264-08/10/2009) replaces Directive 87/404/EEC of 25 June 1987 following
a codification including the amendments to the original directive.
2. Simple Pressure Vessels Directive (SPVD): guidelines
In order to ensure a coherent application of the Simple Pressure Vessels
Directive, the Guidelines are established and agreed in the framework of
the Commission's working group. This working group is chaired by a
representative of the Commission services.
These guidelines are elaborated by the Commission services based upon
the results from the working group on the application of the directive.
The aim of this guidance is to clarify certain matters and procedures
referred to in directive 2009/105/EC on the harmonisation of the laws of
Member States.
The guide has an informal status and its loose-leaf format permits the
introduction, updating or withdrawal of individual documents when
appropriate.

notified body or other interested parties, meet your obligations.
You may, if you wish, take alternative effective steps to meet the
requirements of the directive.
The formal document remains the text of directive 2009/105/EC together
with any officially published supporting or amending documents.
