ASME to Offer MasterClass on Meeting the EU Pressure Equipment Directive ASME Training Development will offer four MasterClasses, including the two-day course Using ASME Codes to Meet the EU Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), next month in Denmark. The courses will be held from March 14-18 at the IDA Engineering House, headquarters of the Danish Society of Engineers, in Copenhagen. The EU Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/CE, or PED, which has been mandatory throughout the European Union since 2002, outlines the standards for the design and fabrication of pressure equipment and sets the administrative requirements for the conformity assessment of pressure equipment for the European market without local legislative barriers. Substantial amendments were made to the document two years ago and an updated version, Directive 2014/68/EU, was issued in May 2014. The Using ASME Codes to Meet the EU PED MasterClass, which will take place March 17 and 18, will provide an in-depth review of the PED, recent changes, and how the use of ASME Codes can satisfy the PED requirements for design and manufacture of pressure equipment.   The course, which will be presented by ASME-authorized inspection supervisor and team leader Peter Hanmore, will encompass practical demonstrations for the assessment of hazards and risks and the preparation of particular material appraisals (PMAs) and the technical and quality system documentations to meet the optional quality system requirements. Hanmore has been authorized by ASME and the National Board for the assessment of manufacturers of pressure equipment and safety relief devices. Three other MasterClasses will be presented in Copenhagen along with the PED course: Design by Analysis Requirements in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, Division 2 â€" Alternative Rules on March 14 and 15, Techniques and Methods used in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 for Advanced Fitness-For-Service (FFS) Assessments on March 16, and Bases and Application of Heat Exchanger Mechanical Design Rules in Section VIII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code on March 17 and 18.
