Overview

What does the future hold?

This must-attend event will provide a critical review of the changes to regulation, codes and standards that will affect pressure systems across a variety of sectors. With the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) being updated for the first time since 1997, the pressure systems industry now faces the challenge of staying relevant, modern and competitive. This seminar provides attendees with a comprehensive overview of the planned changes to the PED and how they will be transposed by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). Sessions will be presented by key leaders within the sector from pressure vessel manufacturers to pressure systems operators about how they have prepared for the changes not only to the PED, but also the design and construction standards. This one day seminar will help you prepare and protect your company from the PED update and move the industry forwards.

Key topics covered include:
• Overview of the changes to the PED and how it will affect your industry
• The future of regulations, codes and standards and how to prepare for the forthcoming amendments
• Status of the Pressure Systems Industry in the UK, Europe and the world
• Updates to the design and construction codes and how they will impact your organisation

Benefits of attendance:
• Receive key updates from the major industry players in sectors such as oil and gas and nuclear
• Hear recent operator case studies about how they have prepared for the PED update
• Understand the challenges concerning code changes facing the industry today such as the phasing out of the PD 5500
• Contribute to the future direction of the pressure systems industry through interactive panel discussions and debates
• Network with fellow professionals to share ideas about how to prepare for the pending PED updates
