Re: [MW:22297] PED 97/23/EC WPS & NDT Requirements

Mr Nasser Kunju has summarised the CE requirements very well. Having worked on CE vessels with Kunju I fully agree with what he has written.

PED is a directive only it is not  design code. 
Since you are going for ASME for the design and construction you need to comply with all  ASME requirements plus additional requirements of PED.

PQR's should be witnessed/approved   by RTPO/ NOBO even if it is as per ASME IX and Section VII Div. 1 . ( ASME does not require third party witness )

Welders to be certified by RTPO/NOBO. If welders have been qualified as per ASME but witnessed by a RTPO/NOBO it will satisfy.( ASME does not require third party witness )

NDT personnel to be certified by RTPO typically  by BINDT etc which is a member of European Federation for Non-Destructive Testing (EFNDT). ( ASNT does not require third party witness )


NOBO and RTPO are bodies registered in the European union. You can get the list of approved national bodies from this link

Trust the above will help you.

Compliance with harmonized standards gives presumption of conformity.
However one of the basic principles of the New Approach is that harmonized standards are not mandatory!!!!
Please note that not all EN standards are Harmonized Standards

Hi Saravanan,
 
I think there're some mix up on this issue.
 
First of all if PED is the directive or the design basis document then all welding qualifications should be done as per PED directives and appropriate EN standards.
 
To my understanding ,requirements and acceptance criteria of EN-288 and ASME Sec-IX are not the same. The grouping of materials , required testing and acceptance requirements  differs
 
If your vendor is trying to push the acceptance of ASME WPS and PQR , then a comparative spreadsheet must be provided to aid the AI, without which acceptance would put the AI in liability or risk.
 
LR is one of the third party review organization, accepted worldwide. Hence the selection of  LR as reviewer was not a problem, however acceptance of  ASME welding  WPS/PQR  for  PED designed equipments may not be the right choice.
 
Look at the 2nd attachment , clause 6.12 for qualification of welding procedures and 6.13 for NDE personnel.
 
The first attachment gives general overview of all EN standards.It's bit old, there may be changes incorporated in the standards.
 
Thanks.

Dear Mr.Veera ,

Thank you for your reply.

Whether LR to be from Europe as given in PED List of Notifiers, attached for your reference.

Or Even LR from ASIA is allowed to approve these procedures for PED.

Then for NDT personnel, can we use EN 473 qualified person for PED Jobs.

Saravanan,
