DTI
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) (97/23/EC) came fully into force in May 2002.
It has been decided that the review of the PED will not take place until 2010 with work commencing early 2009. Discussions are still taking place with regard to breathing apparatus and fire extinguishers being incorporated into TPED.
Working Group Pressure (WGP) and ADCO (Advisory and Communications) meetings will take place on 12 and 13 March 2009. The main topic for the WGP will be new and existing guidelines in relation to cylinders for breathing apparatus. ADCO will primarily discuss market surveillance issues and is for Member states only. Reports on these meetings will be placed on the BERR website.
