Thousands of pressure equipment products, from pressure cookers to divers' air bottles to non-nuclear power stations, will be subject to strict new safety standards from 30 May 2002, when a new Directive is fully implemented across the EU. Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC will replace product-specific national rules with European safety rules focusing on hazards, managed in terms of permitted pressure. |
