Factory tag
The factory plate is on the flowmeter in addition to the name
plate. Depending on the nominal diameter of the flowmeter
(> DN
25 or ≤
DN 25), it is identified with two different factory
plates (also refer to article 4, paragraph 3, Pressure Equipment
Directive 2014/68/EU):
Pressure equipment in the scope of the Pressure Equipment
Directive
1
Serial number of the sensor
2
CE mark with notified body
3
Manufacturer address
4
Year of manufacture and
specification of the fluid group in
accordance with the PED
5
Nominal diameter / nominal
pressure rating and material of
the pressure-bearing part (wetted
part)
Figure 6: Factory plate for nominal diameter > DN 25 (example)
The number of the notified body is specified underneath the CE
mark to confirm that the device meets the requirements of the
Pressure Equipment Directive.
The respective fluid group in accordance with the Pressure
Equipment Directive is indicated under PED.
Example: Fluid Group 1 = hazardous fluids, gaseous.
Pressure equipment outside the scope of the Pressure
Equipment Directive
1
Serial number of the sensor
2
Reason for exception article 4,
paragraph 3 of the Pressure
Equipment Directive
3
Manufacturer address
4
Year of manufacture
5
Nominal diameter / nominal
pressure rating and material of
the pressure bearing part (wetted
part)
Figure 7: Factory plate for nominal diameter
≤
DN 25 (example)
In PED the exception to article 4 paragraph 3 of the Pressure
Equipment Directive is specified.
The pressure equipment is classified in the SEP (= Sound
Engineering Practice) ‘Good Engineering Practice’ category.
Note
If the factory plate is missing all together, the device is not in
compliance with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment
Directive 2014/68/EU. Networks for the supply, distribution and
discharge of water and related specific accessories are classed
as an exception in accordance with guideline 1/16 of
Art. 1, Para. 3.2 of the Pressure Equipment Directive.
