“Pressure equipment” is any element designed and manufactured to contain fluids at a pressure greater than 0.5 bar (kg/cm2).

Duties of pressure equipment users

Know and apply the instructions of the manufacturer with regard to use, safety measures and maintenance.
Do not operate the installation if pressure equipment regulations are not met.
Keep the following documentation: EC declaration of conformity; instruction manual; installation certificate; last service check record.
Order the corresponding periodic inspections and carry out the necessary repairs as indicated in the regulations.
Report any accident that has occurred.

Periodic inspections

Depending on the equipment’s category, which is established in article 9 of RD 769/1999, it is compulsory to carry out different levels of inspection and with different periodicity.

SIDEMSA can issue a certificate (Level A inspection) for all types of pressure equipment whatever the volume, pressure and fluid contained in it.

SIDEMSA can issue a certificate (Level B and C inspection) for all compressed air pressure equipment when the operation

“ Pmáx x V (bar x liters) “ is ≤ 5000

In all other cases, SIDEMSA can manage the operations (Level B: calibration of the safety valve, Level C: re hydrostatic pressure calibration of the safety valve) but need to be supervised by an OCA inspector (authorized control body), upon request to the same by us.
