European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 13480-7:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 267
“Industrial piping and pipelines”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TR 13480-7:2002.
EN 13480, Metallic industrial piping consists of eight interdependent and not dissociable Parts which
include:
— Part 1: General
— Part 2: Materials
— Part 3: Design
— Part 4: Fabrication and installation
— Part 5: Inspection and testing
— Part 6: Additional requirements for buried piping
— CEN/TR 13480-7, Guidance on the use of conformity assessment procedures
— Part 8: Additional requirements for aluminium and aluminium alloy piping
The significant technical changes between this Technical Report and the previous edition are:
— a general revision of this document to comply with PED 2014/68/UE;
— in Table A.1, inclusion of new Modules designation and addition of the Module G ;
— in sub-clause A.3, revision of the documentation ;
— in Table B.2, update of cross references for detailed requirements in EN 13480-4:2017 and
EN 13480-5:2017.
NOTE These technical changes are the significant technical changes but it is not an exhaustive list of
all modifications.
1 Scope
This Technical Report gives guidance on the use of conformity assessment procedures for industrial
piping in relation to EN 13480.
2 Normative references
Not applicable.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
responsible authority
competent organization which is independent of the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: For application within the jurisdiction of the European Union this organization may be a
Notified Body or a user inspectorate where appropriate, according to module chosen and designated by a member
state. For the purpose of this standard, all these organizations have been collectively termed “responsible
authorities”.
3.2
fluid
gases, liquids and vapours in pure phase as well as mixtures thereof
Note 1 to entry: A fluid may contain a suspension of solids.
4 Application of the PED
4.1 General
According to the PED, the manufacturer shall determine for each industrial piping and pipeline:
a) the category of the industrial piping and pipeline;
b) the procedures to be applied to assess conformity of the industrial piping and pipeline with the
requirements of the PED.
4.2 Conformity assessment procedures
4.2.1 General
The manufacturer shall subject each item of equipment to a procedure to assess the conformity with the
essential requirements of the PED. Annex A describes the conformity assessment requirements of the
PED. It is applicable to piping systems which are to be installed in an EU Member State.
4.2.2 Choice of conformity assessment procedures
The conformity assessment procedures to be applied to an item or pressure equipment with a view to
affixing the CE marking shall be determined by the category in which the equipment is classified. The
procedures that are to be applied for the various categories are given in Table A.1.
The manufacturer has the option of selecting between a procedure of conformity assessment involving
a certified quality assurance system (if available) and one which does not.
The manufacturer may choose to apply one of the procedures which apply to a higher category.
4.2.3 Conformity assessment procedures and the involvement of Responsible Authorities
The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of this Technical Report, including
inspection and testing activities, are fully applied. If a CE marking is sought, it is a requirement of the
PED that (in many cases) there is a supplementary involvement of a Responsible Authority (e.g. Notified
Body) to ensure the requirements of the PED are met.
The kind and extent of responsible authority involvement in inspection and testing activities will
depend upon the conformity assessment procedure chosen by the manufacturer. For each appropriate
conformity assessment procedure the participation is indicated in Table B.1.
Annex B has been provided in order to give guidance to the manufacturer so that he may be aware of
the various stages where a responsible authority may be involved. Details of the inspection and testing
activities are described in subsequent subclauses, the reference of which is given in Table B.1.
5 Subcontracting
The manufacturer is responsible for the fabrication and the installation, even if this work will be
subcontracted to other fabricators and/or installers.
Where the manufacturer is producing the equipment under a conformity assessment procedure
requiring intervention of a responsible authority, the manufacturer shall inform the responsible
authority of his intention to subcontract so that the responsible authority has the opportunity to take
part in the subcontractor surveillance.
Where the manufacturer is producing the equipment under a conformity assessment procedure based
on quality assurance, e.g. D, H, H1, the controls the manufacturer applies over subcontractors shall be
described in his appropriate quality system.
Annex A
(informative)
Conformity of industrial piping to the essential safety requirements of
Directive 2014/68/EU (Pressure equipment directive)
A.1 Introduction
This annex describes the conformity assessment requirements of Directive 2014/68/EU. It is applicable
to piping systems which are to be installed in an EU Member State.
1)
In the EU Member States, the authorized inspection bodies are identical to the notified bodies.
A.2 Conformity assessment procedure
Where piping is subject to the conformity assessment procedure, the manufacturer shall identify the
appropriate piping category based upon the classification of the piping as defined in EN 13480-1:2017,
Table 5.1-1, and subsequently shall select one of the conformity assessment modules available for that
piping category in accordance with Table A.1.
NOTE The conformity assessment procedure attributed to a higher category can be applied to piping
classified in a lower category.
The activities to be performed by the parties involved in each of the conformity assessment procedures
during design and fabrication/installation of the piping in accordance with this European Standard are
summarized in Annex B.

I I A —
If the manufacturer selected a module applicable to PED Category IV, the following applies:
If module G is selected, the columns for B (design type) and F in Table B.2 shall be used.
If module H1 is selected, the columns H (without the requirements DESIGN) and B (design type) in Table B.2 shall be
used.
1) For intervention of user inspectorates, see Article 16 of Directive 2014/68/EU (Pressure Equipment Directive).
A.3 Certification and CE marking
A.3.1 Declaration of conformity, CE marking
A declaration of conformity and CE marking (see EN 13480-4) shall be required if piping of Categories I,
II and III is placed at a market in a country where the PED applies (see Table A.2).
A.3.2 Notified body's identification mark and certificate
Where appropriate, the notified body's identification number shall be applied adjacent to the CE
marking. Under module F, on satisfactory completion of final assessment the notified body shall issue
an EC certificate of conformity.
