How To Use This Guide Follow the steps in the PED Selection Guide for each piece of Pressure Equipment and/or different design that will be CE marked in accordance with the PED. Use the table in Step 4 to record the evaluation of each pressure equipment. For assemblies, spare parts and special situations (examples on left), contact HSB Global Standards, Codes and Standards Group at 800-417-3437 for assistance. An illustration of how to use the guide is shaded in For this example, the ‘equipment to be CE marked is a Gas Separation Pressure Vessel, which contains Hydrogen Gas.
