Why Does PED Certification Matter for Your Pressure Equipment Projects?
At IIA Field Services, we keep the bar high when it comes to quality and safety. That’s one of the reasons why IIA Field Services maintains a PED certification. But what does that mean—and why should it matter to you?
Let’s break it down.
What Is PED Certification in Simple Terms?
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) is a European regulation that makes sure pressure equipment—like boilers, pipelines, and pressure vessels—is built and tested safely. Think of it as a strict set of rules to prevent dangerous failures in equipment that operates under high pressure.
Here’s an analogy:
Imagine buying a new car. Before it ever hits the road, it must pass safety inspections—brakes, seatbelts, airbags—all verified to meet certain standards. PED is like that safety inspection, but for pressure equipment.
So when we say IIA Field Services is PED certified, it means we’re qualified to inspect and test this type of equipment to meet international safety and compliance standards—especially for systems that may be exported to or used within Europe.
Real-World Example: Why PED Certification Could Matter to You
Let’s say your company manufactures pressure relief valves for use in oil and gas systems. You land a new contract with a client who wants to ship your valves overseas. But before they’ll take delivery, they ask: “Was this equipment inspected by a PED-certified provider?”
If the answer is no, your product could be delayed, denied, or even returned. But if the answer is yes—you’re in business.
That’s where we come in. As a PED-certified company, IIA Field Services gives you the green light. We make sure your equipment meets the required standards so you can move forward with confidence—whether you’re shipping across state lines or across the ocean.
