Steam and Pressure Technology

Operate with safe and efficient steam and pressure equipment

Steam and pressure equipment designers, manufacturers, and operators are facing the challenge of ensuring top line growth in the wake of increasing price pressures from global competitors and stringent national and international safety, quality, and environmental standards.

Quality flaws in your equipment will affect your buyers plant availability and maintenance costs and inevitably lead to reputation loss, reduction in orders, and an impact on your bottom line.

TÜV SÜD provides inspection and certification for manufacturers to the following standards:

PED 97 23 EC
Indian Boiler Regulation IBR
ADR/RID Transport of Dangerous Goods
Quality Systems
Quality systems EN ISO 3834; HP0/W0 approval
European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) Annex I. 4.3
ASME
German AD Code
British Standard
French CODAP
Italian RACOLTA

Our experts have been conducting steam and pressure equipment safety and quality services for decades and preside on national and international standards committees. Ensuring you receive the expert latest guidance, powered by German engineering excellence.
