General principles

For the following harmonised supporting standard for materials, presumption of conformity to the ESRs is limited to
technical data of materials in the standard and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific equipment.
Consequently the technical data stated in the material standard should be assessed against the design requirements of the
specific equipment to verify that the ESRs of the PED are satisfied.

Stainless steel bars for pressure purposes

For the following harmonised supporting standard for materials, presumption of conformity to the ESRs is limited to
technical data of materials in the standard and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific equipment.
Consequently the technical data stated in the material standard should be assessed against the design requirements of the

For the following harmonised supporting standard for materials, presumption of conformity to the ESRs is limited to
technical data of materials in the standard and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific equipment.
Consequently the technical data stated in the material standard should be assessed against the design requirements of the
specific equipment to verify that the ESRs of the PED are satisfied.

Note:

(cid:151) any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from the European
standardisation organisations or from the national standardisation bodies (1) of which the list
is
annexed to the Council Directive 98/34/EEC4 (2), amended by the Council Directive 98/48/EC5 (3);

(cid:151) publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Communities does not imply that the

standards are available in all the Community languages;

(cid:151) further Harmonised Standards for pressure equipment have been published in previous editions of the
Official Journal of the European Communities (4). A complete updated list can be found on the Europa-
