Pressure Equipment / CE-labelling / Construction Products Regula-
tion

Within the EU, pressure equipment is subject to the Directive 2014/68/EU of the European Parlia-
ment and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the member states 
regarding making pressure equipment available on the market. In Austria the guideline has been 
implemented with the Druckgeräteverordnung (DGVO), in Germany it has been implemented with 
the „Vierzehnte Verordnung zum Produktsicherheitsgesetz (Druckgeräteverordnung – 
14. ProdSV)“.

According to §8 of the DGVO, the Automatic Purging Units F-BO-AFE70 are pressure equipment 
with low risk potential, and according to article 4, paragraph 3 of the Directive 2014/68/EU they 
are „

Pressure equipment and assemblies below or equal to the limits set out in points (a), (b) and 

(c) of paragraph 1 and in paragraph 2 respectively (...)“ and are designed and manufactured in 
accordance with the engineering practice of a Member State. 
The CE-labelling results from a guideline from the board of the European Community for the equi-
valency of the laws of its member states, including the mutual approval of laws. By means of the 
CE-label that is affixed to the device, the manufacturer confirms the conformity of the product with 
the following standards and guidelines:

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive: 2014/30/EU, EN 55022:2010, EN 50130-4:2011 + 
A1:2014.

The CE-labelling of the device expressly does not result from the guideline 2014/68/EU.

You must not exceed the values specified in the project planning guidelines of the 
aspirating smoke detector. Please observe the respective national standards and 
guidelines for planning aspirating smoke detectors.
However, the Automatic Purging Units F-BO-AFE70 do not represent an addi-
tional air resistance in the sampling pipe network, and therefore they do not have 
to be additionally included in the calculation of the sampling pipe network.
