DIRECTIVE 97/23/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 29
May 1997 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning pressure equipment
states that “
Whereas equipment subject to a pressure of not more than 0,5 bar does not pose a
significant hazard due to pressure; whereas there should not therefore be any obstacle to its free
movement within the Community; whereas this Directive applies to equipment subject to a
maximum
allowable pressure
exceeding 0,5 bar
”. Since the maximum allowable design pressure is less than
0.5 bar, Tristan’s model
SM770
is in conformity with DIRECTIVE 97/23/EC.
