2.0 ANALYSIS

From product classification table – we have determined that: -

 The fluid contained within the Upper Riser has been determined as a Group 2 liquid that
is analysed using Chart 9 on page 13. From this chart it is determined that the pipework
falls outwith the Pressure Equipment Directive, as the liquid is at a pressure of 0.17 Barg
(i.e. less than 0.5 Barg on the chart).

 The fluid contained within the Mud Fill Line Pipework has been determined as a Group
2 gas, which is analysed using Chart 9 on page 13. From this chart it is determined that
the pipework falls outwith the Pressure Equipment Directive, as the liquid is at a
pressure of 0.17 Barg (i.e. less than 0.5 Barg on the chart).

 The fluid contained within the Secondary Flowline Pipework has been determined as a
Group 2 liquid that is analysed using Chart 9 on page 13. From this chart it is
determined that the pipework falls outwith the Pressure Equipment Directive, as the
liquid is at atmospheric pressure (i.e. does not appear on chart).

 The fluid contained within the Pneumatic Actuation Lines has been determined as a
Group 2 liquid that is analysed using Chart 9 on page 13. From this chart it is
determined that the pipework falls outwith the Pressure Equipment Directive, as the
liquid is at a pressure of 0.17 Barg (i.e. less than 0.5 Barg on the chart).

3.0 PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION

In order to know how the Regulations will apply to specific items of pressure equipment, the
manufacturer will need to classify the equipment into one of five conformity assessment
categories – “sound engineering practice” or Categories I, II, III or IV according to the charts
reproduced in Annex B as indicated in the following table:

VESSELS STEAM PIPING

GENERATORS

State of contents Gas Liquid Gas Liquid

Fluid Group 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2

Chart 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Therefore, to classify pressure equipment, the manufacturer will need to know:

3.1 The type of equipment, vessel, steam generator or piping (see below for pressure accessories and
safety accessories);

Steam generator means fired or otherwise heated pressure equipment with the risk of
overheating intended for generation of steam of superheated water at temperatures higher that
110ºC.

3.2 The state of the intended fluid contents – gas or liquid;

If a fluid has a vapour pressure at the maximum allowable temperature of the equipment of
greater than 0.5 bar above normal atmospheric pressure (1 013 mbar), it is treated as a gas,
otherwise it is treated as a liquid.

3.3 The fluid group of the intended contents – Group 1 or Group 2.

Group 1 comprises those fluids classified, according to the EC Directive on the classification
of dangerous substances*, as:

Explosive
Extremely Flammable
Highly Flammable
Flammable (where the maximum allowable temperature is above flashpoint)
Very toxic
Toxic
Oxidising

Group 2 comprises all other fluids including steam:

With this information the manufacturer can identify the relevant chart in Section 4 (see table
on previous page) and determine the correct classification of the equipment by plotting the
maximum allowable pressure and, in the case of vessels, the volume in litres or, for piping,
the nominal size (DN).

The maximum allowable pressure (PS) is the maximum pressure for which the equipment is
designed, as specified by the manufacturer.

Nominal size (DN) means a numerical designation of size, which is common to all
components in a piping system other than components indicated by outside diameter or by
thread size.

4.0 CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT MODULES

“User inspectorates” may also be appointed by member States to carry out the tasks of
notified bodies within their own organisations under Modules A1, C1, F and G only. The CE
marking should not be affixed to pressure equipment and assemblies assessed by user
inspectorates.

In the United Kingdom, notified bodies, recognized third-party organisations and user
inspectorates are appointed by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry following
assessment against the criteria set down in the UK Guidelines on the appointment of
Conformity Assessment Bodies, which incorporates the minimum criteria set out in the
Directive.

The conformity assessment modules available for the different categories of equipment are
detailed below, along with a brief description in the key. Manufacturers may choose the
module(s) which best suit them e.g. a manufacturer of Category II equipment may choose
A1, D1 or E1.
