The 3.2 certificate additionally requires confirmation by an independent body (e.g. T\u00dcV or an expert commissioned by the purchaser). For PED category IV and particularly critical materials, 3.2 is mandatory. We can act as the independent body for 3.2 certificates and take over the sampling and testing at the manufacturer or in the test laboratory.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>When do I need AD 2000 and when ASME Section IX?<\/h3>\n<div>AD 2000 is a code of practice established in Germany for meeting PED requirements; ASME Section IX applies to the US market and to pressure equipment to the ASME code. For export to the USA or for US clients, ASME is required; within the EU, AD 2000. For dual-listed equipment (EU + US), both qualifications are often needed &#8211; we can cover both codes and manage the interfaces between the requirements.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Can you also mediate in complaints raised against our customers?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes. Complaint analyses are a central element of our work. We clarify the cause neutrally &#8211; whether material defect, heat treatment, manufacturing problem or user error at the customer. On request, we also take over the technical communication with the complaining customer in order to speed up resolution and avoid lengthy disputes.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>What is a PMA and when do I need one?<\/h3>\n<div>A PMA (Particular Material Appraisal) is a material-specific assessment for non-harmonised materials or special grades under PED. It is required when a material is not listed in a harmonised standard or when a deviation from the standard is intended. We prepare PMA dossiers and support approval by the notified body.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Which PED category applies to my pressure equipment?<\/h3>\n<div>The PED category (I to IV) results from pressure, volume and fluid group according to charts 1 to 9 of the Pressure Equipment Directive. The category determines the module for conformity assessment and thus the scope of testing and the involvement of the notified body.
