A.4.1
Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 2014/68/EU
Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process mounts
have no pressure-bearing housing of their own and, therefore, do not come under the
Pressure Equipment Directive as pressure or safety accessories (see EU Commission Guideline
A-08 and A-20).
