1.0 GENERAL
To ensure proper and safe operation of the Barksdale Heavy duty valve, the entire manual must be
read and understood clearly. Please pay special attention to all safety information. The Pressure
Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC requires pressure equipment intended for Europe to have a CE
mark and that the equipment meet all aspects of the directive. The PED is a directive that applies to the
design, manufacture, and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and pressure assemblies. All
equipment covered by the directive must comply with essential safety requirements and meet the
equivalent national laws of all member countries.
1.1 PED Classification
To ensure that products intended for Europe meet the requirements of PED. It is necessary to
determine the proper PED classification. In the PED, pressure equipment can be classified one of the
following categories.
• SEP (Sound Engineering Practice)
• Category I
• Category II
• Category III
• Category IV
1.2 SEP Products
The SEP classification applies to pressure equipment that is not subject to Category I, II, III, or IV
conformity assessment, but must be designed and manufactured with “sound engineering practice” as
defined by the PED.
1.3 Product Classification
Use the table 1 on the following page to find the PED category of a specific product.
Note:
Due to PED Classification limitations, some products may not be available at full rated pressures.
Be sure to check the PED Product Classification Table 1 for any limitations.
