As of 1 June 2015, economic operators must use the Classification, Labelling

and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (EC 1272/2008) to determine whether their
pressure equipment will be handling dangerous fluids. This applies to any
equipment placed on the market after 1 June 2015. This means 2014/68/EU
Art. 13 replaces 97/23/EC Art. 9 as of 1 June 2015.
