This Part of this document specifies the inspection and testing of individual and serially produced pressure vessels made of steels in accordance with EN 13445-2:2021.

Special provisions for cyclic operation are given in Annex G of this Part.

Special provisions for vessels or vessel parts working in the creep range are given in Annex F and Annex I of this Part.

NOTE The responsibilities of parties involved in the conformity assessment procedures are given in Directive 2014/68/EU. Guidance on this can be found in CR 13445-7.
