Dutch Commodities Act Decree on Pressure Equipment and PED in practice, 2014/68/EU
A PED training course focuses on understanding and applying legislation and regulations relating to pressure equipment. All pressure equipment, piping systems and installations with an allowable pressure of 0.5 bar or higher must comply with PED and the national legislation resulting from it, such as WBDA. In this training course, you gain insight into the background of the regulations, the classification of equipment and the consequences of recent changes for both new-build projects and existing installations.
During this PED and WBDA training course, you receive a clear overview of the regulations and their practical application.
After completing this training course, you will understand:
what PED and WBDA involve and how they are connected
how pressure equipment is classified and categorised
which obligations apply to new-build projects and assemblies
when inspections and periodic re-inspections are required
how modifications and repairs fall within the regulatory framework
With this knowledge, you will be able to interpret and apply the regulations more effectively in your own work.
Evening 1: PED Classifications and the Technical Basis
- Scope and definition of PED, 2014/68/EU, within industrial installations
- Application limits and exemptions under Article 1.2

- Classification of pressure equipment, including vessels, piping systems and accessories
- Determining the fluid group based on the CLP Regulation, fluid groups 1 and 2
- Gas versus liquid based on vapour pressure at design temperature
- Application of PED tables for vessels and piping
- Determining the PED category based on PS, volume and DN: SEP and Categories I to IV
- Essential Safety Requirements, ESR, and their implications for design and fabrication
- Relationship between PED and design standards such as EN 13480, EN 13445 and ASME
- Distinction between regulatory requirements and detailed engineering
- Introduction to conformity assessment
Overview of modules and their relationship to the PED category
Case 1: Classification and Category Determination
- Determining the fluid group, phase and correct PED table
- Establishing the PED category
- Determining KVI obligations based on process data
Evening 2: Conformity, Documentation and Brownfield Application
- In-depth review of conformity assessment modules: A, A2, B, B+F, C2, G, H and H1
- Selecting the correct module for each application and organisation
- Minimum requirements versus project-specific requirements within modules
- Role of the Notified Body, EU-CBI, in design assessment, inspection and certification
- When involvement is mandatory and when it can be avoided
- Structure and content of the design dossier
- Required design documentation, calculations, material certificates and inspections
- CE marking and EU Declaration of Conformity
- Link between engineering, QC and conformity assessment
- Inspection before commissioning, KVI, and the role of the NL-CBI
- Relationship between PED and WBDA within the Dutch context
- Obligations during the operational phase, including inspections and reassessments
- Modifications and repairs in existing installations
- Like-for-like replacements versus scope extensions
- Impact of changes on PED classification and obligations
Working with existing installations, pre-2002 and WBDA 2016
Case 2: Brownfield Modification and Scope Definition
- Defining the PED scope for a modification
- Reassessment of category and module
- Determining documentation and inspection obligations
- Determining KVI obligations and the role of the authorities involved

Mechanical Systems & Skid Construction
Technical Modules
8 half-day session
Rotterdam
Mechanical systems are at the heart of industrial installations. Piping, pumps, heat exchangers and cooling systems ensure that processes continue to operate safely, reliably and efficiently. With Dosign Academy’s Mechanical Systems & Skid Construction training course, you develop insight into how these components work together to form a complete installation. You will learn not only to understand individual components, but above all to recognise the interaction within complete mechanical systems and skids.

The importance of PED and WBDA in practice
The European Pressure Equipment Directive and WBDA are decisive for the safety and conformity of pressure equipment and installations. Changes in regulations affect classifications, inspection obligations and responsibilities. With a PED training course, you develop insight into these changes and prevent errors in the design, commissioning or management of pressure equipment. This contributes to safe installations and demonstrable compliance with legislation and regulations.
Would you like to better understand how PED and WBDA affect your installations and projects? Follow the PED training course at Dosign Academy and develop insight that can be applied directly in practice. Work with greater confidence on safe, compliant pressure equipment and installations.
