The structure and the appiicatn of the AD 2000 body of regulations and the procedural guigaies are covered by AD 2000-Merkbatt G 1. The AD 2000-Markblitter contain safety requirements to be met under normal operating conditions. If abovernormal loadings are to be expected curing the operation ofthe pressure vessel, this shall be taken info account by mesting special requirements. 1 there aro any divergences from the requirements of tis AD 2000-Merkbat, it shal be possible to prove that the standard of safoty of this body of ragulations has been maintained by other means, e.g. by materials testing, tests, strss analysis, operating experience.

If other technical rules are used in accordance with the state of the art to solve related Problems, its assumed that the overall concept has been taken into account. ‘The AD 2000 body of regulations can be used as appro- priate for other modules of the Pressure Equipment Diroc- ‘ive or for different eactors of the law. Responsibility for testing Is as specified in the provisions of the relevant sector of the law. 1 Scope ‘This AD 2000-Merkblatt applies to the marking of pressure vessels.
