EPR CODES AND STANDARDS FOR PRESSURE EQUIPMENTS

ABSTRACT：In order to improve circulation of pressure equipments in Europe some minimum essential requirements have been issued in 1997 by the European Community. These requirements have to be fulfilled for all type of pressure equipments operating in Europe. Each countries have transfer the general EC requirements in their own law and corresponding Codes & Standards, in accordance with PED are now under developments at the EC level.. All national Codes & standards in accordance with the PED can be used. This paper presents : - - first the different PED requirements (allowable stress, hydrostatic test, conformity justification, notified body actions, material selection, fabrication and non destructive examination requests, overpressure protection rules…), second the status of national Codes & Standards and EC harmonised rules. After the conventional pressure equipments, the paper presents a general overview of the new French nuclear regulation and the corresponding consequences for EPR design and fabrication Codes.
Keywords: Codes; Standards, Pressure Equipment; design; fabrication, nuclear, conventional.
