SPVD in plain terms
The Simple Pressure Vessels Directive (SPVD), formally Directive 2014/29/EU, is the EU’s law for a deliberately narrow family of welded tanks. It applies to simple pressure vessels manufactured in series with five characteristics, all of which must be present at once: the vessels are welded, intended to be subjected to an internal gauge pressure greater than 0,5 bar and to contain air or nitrogen, and are not intended to be fired; the parts and assemblies contributing to the strength of the vessel under pressure are made either of non-alloy quality steel or of non-alloy aluminium or non-age hardening aluminium alloys; the vessel is built either as a cylindrical part of circular cross-section closed by outwardly dished or flat ends revolving around the same axis as the cylindrical part, or as two dished ends revolving around the same axis; the maximum working pressure does not exceed 30 bar and the product of that pressure and the capacity (PS times V) does not exceed 10 000 bar.L; and the minimum working temperature is no lower than minus 50 °C while the maximum working temperature is no higher than 300 °C for steel and 100 °C for aluminium or aluminium alloy vessels (Art. 1(1)). Only three groups are excluded: vessels specifically designed for nuclear use whose failure may cause an emission of radioactivity, vessels specifically intended for installation in or the propulsion of ships and aircraft, and fire extinguishers (Art. 1(2)). A vessel that meets the directive circulates freely, and Member States may not impede its being made available or put into service on their territory (Art. 5).
The 2014 text is a recast of Directive 2009/105/EC, itself the codification of Council Directive 87/404/EEC, aligned with the New Legislative Framework so that it carries the same economic operator duties, traceability rules and market surveillance procedures as the other CE marking directives (recitals 1 to 3). It entered into force on 18 April 2014, the transposing measures had to be adopted and published by 19 April 2016 and apply from 20 April 2016, when Articles 1, 3, 4 and 5 and Annexes I and III also took effect and Directive 2009/105/EC was repealed (Art. 42 to Art. 44). Directive (EU) 2024/2749 added Chapter 5a on emergency procedures, in force since 28 November 2024 and applied by the Member States from 30 May 2026 (Directive (EU) 2024/2749, Art. 4, Art. 11 and Art. 12). EUR-Lex records one corrigendum, of 28 October 2014, which leaves no mark in the English consolidated text.

Scope
The first question is never how dangerous the vessel is but whether it matches the Article 1(1) description. Miss one characteristic and the directive does not apply: a vessel that is riveted or seamless rather than welded, that holds carbon dioxide or a refrigerant instead of air or nitrogen, that is intended to be fired, that is a one-off rather than series production, whose shell is alloy steel or an age-hardening aluminium alloy, whose shape is neither of the two Article 1(1)(c) forms, whose maximum working pressure exceeds 30 bar or whose PS times V exceeds 10 000 bar.L, or which works below minus 50 °C or above 300 °C for steel or 100 °C for aluminium, is not a simple pressure vessel. There is series manufacture when more than one vessel of the same type is made during a given period by a continuous manufacturing process, to a common design and using the same manufacturing processes, and vessels form part of the same family if they differ from the prototype only in diameter or in the length of the cylindrical portion within the limits set in Annex III (Annex III, points 3.1(f) and (h)).
Because Directive 2014/68/EU on pressure equipment excludes only simple pressure vessels covered by this directive, a vessel that falls outside the Article 1(1) description is not automatically outside CE marking altogether: it is assessed against the Pressure Equipment Directive’s own 0,5 bar threshold, exclusions, fluid groups and category tables (Directive 2014/68/EU, Art. 1(2)(c)). The two directives are complementary rather than overlapping, and the same physical tank cannot be a simple pressure vessel and pressure equipment at the same time.
Inside the directive, Article 4 draws the second and more consequential line. Vessels of which the product of PS and V exceeds 50 bar.L must satisfy the essential safety requirements set out in Annex I; vessels of which that product is 50 bar.L or less must be designed and manufactured in accordance with the sound engineering practice in one of the Member States. The whole of Chapter 3, which carries the presumption of conformity, the conformity assessment procedures, the EU declaration of conformity and the CE marking rules, is headed “Conformity of vessels of which the product of PS x V exceeds 50 bar.L”, and Annex III point 1.1 requires the CE marking only for those vessels. A 24-litre receiver at 10 bar is at 240 bar.L and inside the full regime; a 5-litre reservoir at 8 bar is at 40 bar.L and follows sound engineering practice with the Annex III inscriptions and instructions.
The duties fall on the economic operators: the manufacturer, the authorised representative, the importer and the distributor (Art. 2, point (7)). A manufacturer is whoever manufactures a vessel or has one designed or manufactured and markets it under his own name or trade mark (Art. 2, point (3)), and an importer or distributor that places a vessel on the market under its own name or trade mark, or modifies a vessel already on the market in a way that may affect compliance, is considered a manufacturer and takes on the Article 6 obligations (Art. 10). In Denmark, executive order nr. 1304 of 23 November 2015 makes the directive Danish law by reproducing it as annex 1 and binds manufacturers, their representatives, importers, distributors, notified bodies and other duty holders (executive order nr. 1304/2015, § 1 to § 4).
What you must do
Materials
Annex I starts with the material. The materials used for the pressurised parts must be capable of being welded, ductile and tough so that a rupture at the minimum working temperature does not give rise to fragmentation or brittle-type fracture, and not adversely affected by ageing, and they must be accompanied by an inspection slip drawn up by the producer of the materials, in which he certifies the results of the routine in-plant inspection test on products made by the same production process (Annex I, point 1.1; Annex III, point 3.1(i)). Non-alloy quality steels must in addition be non-effervescent and supplied after normalisation treatment or in an equivalent state, contain less than 0,25 % carbon and less than 0,05 % each of sulphur and phosphorus, have a maximum tensile strength below 580 N/mm2, meet the elongation values of Annex I point 1.1.1(c)(ii) parallel and perpendicular to the direction of rolling, and reach an average bending rupture energy KCV of at least 35 J/cm2 on three longitudinal test pieces at the minimum working temperature, with at most one figure below 35 J/cm2 and none below 25 J/cm2; that property is checked for steels used in vessels with a minimum working temperature below minus 10 °C and a wall thickness above 5 mm (Annex I, point 1.1.1). Non-alloy aluminium must contain at least 99,5 % aluminium and the alloys named in Article 1(1)(b) must display adequate resistance to intercrystalline corrosion at the maximum working temperature; both must be supplied annealed, with a maximum tensile strength of no more than 350 N/mm2 and elongation after fracture of at least 16 % parallel and 14 % perpendicular to the direction of rolling (Annex I, point 1.1.2). Welding materials must be appropriate to and compatible with the materials welded, accessories contributing to strength such as bolts and nuts must be of a point 1.1 material or another compatible steel or aluminium with an appropriate elongation and bending rupture energy at the minimum working temperature, and unpressurised parts must be compatible with the components they are welded to (Annex I, points 1.2 to 1.4).
Design and wall thickness
When designing the vessel the manufacturer defines the use to which it will be put and selects the minimum working temperature Tmin, the maximum working temperature Tmax and the maximum working pressure PS; if a minimum working temperature above minus 10 °C is selected, the material qualities must still be satisfied at minus 10 °C (Annex I, point 2(a)). The inside of the vessel must be inspectable, the vessel must be drainable, the mechanical qualities must be maintained throughout the period of use and the vessel must be adequately protected against corrosion for its prescribed use (point 2(b)). Under the conditions of use envisaged the vessel must not be subjected to stresses likely to impair its safety, and the internal pressure must not permanently exceed the maximum working pressure PS, although it may momentarily do so by up to 10 % (point 2(c)). Circumferential and longitudinal seams are made with full penetration welds or welds of equivalent effectiveness, and convex ends other than hemispherical ones have a cylindrical edge (point 2(d)).
Wall thickness is set by one of two methods. Where PS times V is not more than 3 000 bar.L the manufacturer chooses between the calculation method and the experimental method; where PS times V is more than 3 000 bar.L, or where the maximum working temperature exceeds 100 °C, the calculation method is mandatory (Annex I, point 2.1). Under the calculation method the calculation pressure may not be lower than the selected PS and the permissible general membrane stress may not exceed the lower of 0,6 ReT and 0,3 Rm, using the minimum ReT and Rm values guaranteed by the producer of the material; where the cylindrical portion has one or more longitudinal welds made with a non-automatic welding process, the calculated thickness is multiplied by 1,15 (point 2.1.1). Under the experimental method the wall thickness must let the vessel resist, at ambient temperature, a pressure of at least five times the maximum working pressure with a permanent circumferential deformation factor of no more than 1 % (point 2.1.2). Whichever method is used, the actual wall thickness of the cylindrical section and the ends may not be less than 2 mm for steel vessels and 3 mm for aluminium or aluminium alloy vessels (point 2.1).
Manufacturing and welding
Preparation of the component parts, for example forming and chamfering, must not give rise to surface defects or cracks or to changes in the mechanical characteristics likely to be detrimental to the safety of the vessels (Annex I, point 3.1). The characteristics of welds on pressurised parts and of the adjacent zones must be similar to those of the welded materials and free of any surface or internal defect detrimental to safety; welds must be performed by qualified welders or operators possessing the appropriate level of competence, in accordance with approved welding processes, and the approval and qualification tests are carried out by notified bodies. During manufacture the manufacturer must ensure consistent weld quality by conducting appropriate tests using adequate procedures, and those tests are the subject of a report (Annex I, point 3.2). This is the one place where a notified body is involved even before the conformity assessment modules begin.
Harmonised standards and presumption of conformity
Vessels above 50 bar.L that conform to harmonised standards, or parts of them, whose references have been published in the Official Journal are presumed to conform to the essential safety requirements those standards cover (Art. 12). The references are published by Commission communication, most recently in OJ C 326 of 14 September 2018, and cover the welder and welding procedure qualification standards and the steel delivery standard for simple pressure vessels; the Commission also hosts the SPVD Guidelines, which represent the unanimous opinion of the Working Group Pressure and are not legally binding but help ensure that the directive is applied consistently, and the list of notified bodies in the NANDO database (European Commission, simple pressure vessels pages). Using harmonised standards is not compulsory, but the choice has a procedural consequence: a vessel built to them may be type-examined on the documentation alone, while a vessel built outside them must be submitted as a prototype (Art. 13(1)).
Conformity assessment: Module B plus C1, C2 or C
For vessels above 50 bar.L the assessment comes in two stages. Prior to manufacture the vessel is subject to EU-type examination (Module B) by a single notified body of the manufacturer’s choice. Where the vessel is manufactured in accordance with the harmonised standards the manufacturer chooses between design type, an assessment of the adequacy of the technical design through examination of the technical documentation and supporting evidence without examination of a specimen, and production type, the same assessment plus examination of a prototype representative of the production envisaged of the complete vessel. Where the vessel is not manufactured, or only partly manufactured, in accordance with the harmonised standards, the manufacturer must submit a prototype for production-type examination (Art. 13(1)). The Annex II point 1.3 application carries a written declaration that the same application has not been lodged with another notified body and the technical documentation with an adequate analysis and assessment of the risks, a general description, conceptual design and manufacturing drawings and schemes with the explanations needed to understand them, the list of harmonised standards applied in full or in part or the descriptions of the solutions adopted instead, design calculations and examination results, test reports, the Annex III point 2 instructions and a document describing the materials, welding processes and checks selected and any pertinent design details, plus the supporting evidence; where a prototype is examined the documentation also contains the welding qualification certificates, the material inspection slip and a report on the examinations and tests performed. The notified body draws up an evaluation report, issues an EU-type examination certificate where the type meets the directive, keeps itself apprised of changes in the generally acknowledged state of the art, and must be informed of every modification to the approved type, which requires an addition to the certificate; the manufacturer keeps a copy of the certificate, its annexes and additions with the technical documentation at the disposal of the national authorities for 10 years (Annex II, points 1.3 to 1.9).
Prior to placing on the market the second module follows, and the band decides it. Where PS times V exceeds 3 000 bar.L the vessel goes through conformity to type based on internal production control plus supervised vessel testing (Module C1). Where it does not exceed 3 000 bar.L but exceeds 200 bar.L the manufacturer chooses between Module C1 and conformity to type based on internal production control plus supervised vessel checks at random intervals (Module C2). Where it does not exceed 200 bar.L but exceeds 50 bar.L the manufacturer chooses between Module C1 and conformity to type based on internal production control (Module C) (Art. 13(2)). Under Module C1 the manufacturer presents the vessels in uniform batches of at most 3 000 vessels of the model of the same type, and the notified body performs a hydrostatic test, or a pneumatic test of equivalent effect where the Member State has accepted the test safety procedures, on each vessel at a pressure Ph equal to 1,5 times the design pressure, and carries out tests on test-pieces taken from a representative production test-piece or from a vessel to examine weld quality on the longitudinal welds, repeated on the circumferential welds where the weld technique differs; for vessels designed by the experimental method those test-piece tests are replaced by a hydrostatic test on five vessels taken at random from each batch. The body affixes or has the manufacturer affix its identification number to each vessel of an accepted batch and draws up a written certificate of conformity, and if a batch is rejected it takes appropriate measures to prevent that batch reaching the market (Annex II, points 2.3 and 2.4; Annex III, point 3.1(g)). Under Module C2 the body checks random samples at random intervals and verifies that the manufacturer really tests every vessel at 1,5 times the design pressure through staff independent of production personnel (Annex II, point 3.3). Under Module C the notified body that issued the EU-type examination certificate examines the manufacturing description, the inspection document and the undertaking to test every vessel before manufacture begins (Annex II, point 4.2). Records and correspondence relating to the procedures are drawn up in an official language of the Member State in which the notified body is established or in a language it accepts (Art. 13(3)).
Declaration, CE marking, inscriptions and instructions
The EU declaration of conformity states that fulfilment of the Annex I essential safety requirements has been demonstrated, follows the Annex IV model, contains the elements specified in the relevant modules, is continuously updated, is translated into the language or languages required by the Member State where the vessel is placed or made available and, where more than one Union act requires a declaration, is drawn up as a single declaration identifying all of them; by drawing it up the manufacturer assumes responsibility for the compliance of the vessel (Art. 14). The CE marking follows the general principles of Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, is affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to the vessel or to its data plate before the vessel is placed on the market, and is followed by the identification number of the notified body involved in the production control phase, affixed by the body itself or under its instructions; the marking and the number may be followed by any other mark indicating a special risk or use (Art. 15 and Art. 16). Vessels above 50 bar.L bear the CE marking together with the last two digits of the year in which it was affixed (Annex III, point 1.1).
Beyond the CE marking, the vessel or its data plate bears at least the maximum working pressure PS in bar, the maximum working temperature Tmax in °C, the minimum working temperature Tmin in °C, the capacity V in L, the name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the address of the manufacturer, and the type and serial or batch identification of the vessel; where a data plate is used it must be designed so that it cannot be reused and must include a vacant space to allow other information to be added (Annex III, points 1.2 and 1.3). The vessel is accompanied by instructions drawn up by the manufacturer containing those particulars except the serial or batch identification, the intended use of the vessel and the maintenance and installation requirements for vessel safety (Annex I, point 4; Annex III, point 2), in a language which can be easily understood by end-users as determined by the Member State concerned, and the instructions, the safety information and any labelling must be clear, understandable and intelligible (Art. 6(7)). In Denmark a vessel may be placed on the market or made available only if the instructions under Annex III point 2 of the directive are drawn up in Danish (executive order nr. 1304/2015, § 5).
Obligations by role
Manufacturers design and build vessels above 50 bar.L to Annex I and vessels at or below that value to sound engineering practice, draw up the technical documentation and run the Article 13 procedure, draw up the declaration and affix the CE marking and the inscriptions, keep the documentation and declaration for 10 years, keep procedures in place for series production to remain in conformity, sample-test and keep a complaints register where the risks warrant it, apply the type and serial or batch identification and their name and contact address, supply the instructions in the required language, take corrective action, inform the authorities of risks and cooperate on request (Art. 6). Authorised representatives act under a written mandate that must at least allow them to keep the documents for 10 years, answer reasoned requests and cooperate with the authorities, and cannot take over the design or documentation duties (Art. 7). Importers place only compliant vessels on the market, verify the manufacturer’s procedure, documentation, CE marking, inscriptions and identification for vessels above 50 bar.L and the sound engineering practice, Annex III point 1.2 inscriptions and identification for vessels at or below it, add their own name and contact address, ensure the instructions, protect vessels above 50 bar.L in storage and transport, sample-test where warranted, take corrective action and keep the declaration for 10 years (Art. 8). Distributors act with due care, verify the marking, documents, instructions and identification before making a vessel available, protect it in storage and transport and see that corrective action is taken (Art. 9). Importers and distributors that sell under their own brand or modify a vessel become manufacturers (Art. 10), and every operator identifies its suppliers and customers for 10 years (Art. 11). Since 16 July 2021, Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 also requires an economic operator established in the Union, a manufacturer, importer, authorised representative or fulfilment service provider, for every simple pressure vessel placed on the market (Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, Art. 4).
Emergency procedures since 2026
Directive (EU) 2024/2749 inserted Chapter 5a. Its measures apply only if the Commission has adopted an implementing act under Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2747 for vessels covered by the directive, only to vessels designated as crisis-relevant goods and only during an activated internal market emergency mode, with Article 38c(7) continuing to apply after the mode expires or is deactivated (Art. 38a). Notified bodies then make best efforts to process applications for such vessels as a matter of priority, whether lodged before or after the activation, without disproportionate additional costs for the manufacturers, and make reasonable efforts to increase their testing capacity (Art. 38b). A Member State may, on a duly justified request from an economic operator, authorise the placing on the market on its territory of specific vessels for which the notified-body procedures have not been carried out but for which compliance with all applicable essential safety requirements has been demonstrated in accordance with the procedures set out in the authorisation; the Commission may extend the authorisation to the whole Union by implementing act, and the vessel must then bear the information that it is placed on the market as a crisis-relevant good in a language consumers and other end-users easily understand. The manufacturer declares on his sole responsibility that the vessels comply with all applicable essential safety requirements, the authorisation sets out the procedures used, any specific traceability requirements, an end date that cannot go beyond the emergency mode, any continuous conformity assessment requirements and the measures to take when the mode ends, and the vessel bears neither the CE marking nor the Annex III point 1 inscriptions while Article 5 on free movement does not apply to it (Art. 38c). The Commission may list appropriate standards or establish common specifications giving a presumption of conformity for the duration of the mode, and vessels placed on the market on that basis stay deemed compliant afterwards unless there is sufficient reason to believe they present a risk (Art. 38d); market surveillance for the listed vessels is prioritised, coordinated through the Union Product Compliance Network, with mutual assistance between authorities (Art. 38e). In Denmark Erhvervsstyrelsen issues the authorisations, informs the Commission and the other Member States immediately, notifies the Commission where it considers a listed standard or common specification insufficient, and prioritises market surveillance and assistance; the information and labelling must be in Danish or English (executive order nr. 492/2026, § 1, nr. 5).
Enforcement and penalties
Article 34 applies Article 15(3) and Articles 16 to 29 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 to the vessels covered by Article 1; those articles were deleted by Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 from 16 July 2021, which lists the directive as point 48 of its Annex I, so the reference is read as that regulation, and the Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 that Article 35(1) cites corresponds to Article 18 of the new regulation on the procedural rights of economic operators. Where a market surveillance authority has sufficient reason to believe that a vessel presents a risk to the health or safety of persons, or to domestic animals or property, it evaluates the vessel against all the requirements of the directive, requires the economic operator without delay to take corrective action, to withdraw the vessel or to recall it within a reasonable period commensurate with the nature of the risk, informs the relevant notified body and, where the operator fails to act, takes provisional measures prohibiting or restricting the making available, withdrawing or recalling the vessel and informs the Commission and the other Member States; a provisional measure against which neither a Member State nor the Commission objects within three months is deemed justified (Art. 35). Disputed measures go to the Union safeguard procedure, in which the Commission decides by implementing act whether the national measure is justified (Art. 36), a compliant vessel that nevertheless presents a risk is handled the same way (Art. 37), and formal non-compliance must be ended: a CE marking affixed in violation of Article 16 or of Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 or not affixed at all, a notified body number wrongly affixed or missing, missing or wrongly affixed Annex III point 1 inscriptions, an EU declaration of conformity not drawn up or not drawn up correctly, technical documentation that is unavailable or incomplete, absent, false or incomplete manufacturer or importer information, or any other unmet administrative requirement of Article 6 or Article 8, and where the non-compliance persists the Member State restricts or prohibits the making available or ensures that the vessel is recalled or withdrawn (Art. 38).
Penalties are set nationally: Member States lay down effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties for infringements by economic operators of their transposing laws, which may include criminal penalties for serious infringements (Art. 40). In Denmark, executive order nr. 1304 of 23 November 2015 punishes with a fine, unless a higher penalty is due under the act on the construction of certain products (lov nr. 155 of 20 February 2013) or other legislation — a subsidiarity clause the 2026 amending order left untouched, although the order itself now rests on the product act — breaches of its § 4 and § 5 and of the provisions of the directive reproduced in its annex 1, and failure to comply with decisions, orders and prohibitions issued under the order, with corporate liability under chapter 5 of the criminal code (executive order nr. 1304/2015, § 9); from 30 May 2026 the order rests on the product act and the fine also covers the requirement in § 6 a, stk. 3, that crisis-relevant information and labelling be in Danish or English (executive order nr. 492/2026, § 1, nr. 2 and nr. 6). The product act (lov om produkter og markedsovervågning) lists the directive in section 2 as product area nr. 7, names Erhvervsstyrelsen as the control authority and provides orders to warn users, stop misleading marketing, remedy, stop sales or supply, withdraw the product effectively and immediately, recall it from users or destroy it, warnings, prohibitions on placing on the market, making available, supplying or taking into use, orders to stop sales and to remove a wrongly affixed CE marking. The act’s own penalty is a fine, which can rise to imprisonment of up to 2 years in aggravating circumstances — danger to safety or health, an accident causing serious injury or death, repetition, or a systematic breach for gain — but that escalation reaches only breaches of the act itself, of the authority’s decisions and of Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, on the product areas the act lists, of which simple pressure vessels are nr. 7. A breach of the executive order’s own rules carries a fine only: the act would have allowed the order to set imprisonment for this product area, and the order does not (LBK nr. 22/2026, § 2, § 9, § 14, § 15, § 16 and § 37). Sikkerhedsstyrelsen has carried out the control of pressure equipment and simple pressure vessels since 1 December 2018 and is since January 2026 the department Markedsovervågning of Erhvervsstyrelsen, while the control authority’s own guidance states that Arbejdstilsynet remains the market surveillance authority for pressure equipment made to order and for equipment imported from third countries for offshore oil and gas activities under the offshore safety act. That split works through section 9(2) of the product act, under which the authority that supervises other legislation on specific risks for particular products is the relevant control authority; since amending order nr. 492/2026 replaced every mention of Arbejdstilsynet in the simple pressure vessel order, no executive order names it for these products. Note also that the ‘made to order’ leg cannot reach a simple pressure vessel: Article 1(1) covers only vessels manufactured in series, so a one-off vessel is outside this directive altogether. In practice only the offshore leg can bite here (Sikkerhedsstyrelsen, rules and control pages; Erhvervsstyrelsen, Sikkerhedsstyrelsen page).
How Conphora helps
Conphora monitors the Simple Pressure Vessels Directive, its harmonised standards, the SPVD Guidelines and the Danish executive orders, and maps your vessels against the five Article 1(1) characteristics, the three Article 1(2) exclusions, the 50 bar.L line and the module bands, flagging gaps in the technical documentation, the EU-type examination certificate, the EU declaration of conformity, the CE marking and notified body number, the Annex III inscriptions and the instructions before they become enforcement problems. The platform helps you build and keep the documentation and the 10-year records, combines the SPVD declaration with the machinery, ATEX, EMC, Low Voltage and other declarations the same product needs, and alerts you when a standard, a Danish executive order, an emergency-mode activation or the enforcement setup changes.
