  "answer": "The Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive makes the ADR, RID and ADN conformity assessment and inspection requirements binding EU-wide for pressure receptacles, tanks and gas containers, adds the Pi marking and binds manufacturers, importers, distributors, owners and operators. It has applied since 1 July 2011; Directive (EU) 2024/2749 adds emergency procedures that apply from 30 May 2026.",
  "description": "TPED guide: the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive, the Chapter 6.2 and 6.8 equipment it covers, the Class 2 and Annex I substances, the exclusions for aerosols, fire extinguishers and breathing apparatus, conformity assessment and periodic, intermediate and exceptional inspection by a notified body, the Pi marking, reassessment of conformity, the 2024/2749 emergency procedures, the Danish enforcement setup, key dates and how to comply.",
  "enforcedBy": "National market surveillance authorities enforce the national laws transposing the directive over the whole life cycle of the equipment, not only at the point of sale: Article 2, point (26), defines market surveillance as the activities and measures to ensure that transportable pressure equipment during its life cycle complies with Directive 2008/68/EC and this Directive, and Articles 16 and 30 still cite Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, whose Chapter III, Articles 15 to 29, was deleted by Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 from 16 July 2021, and Article 39(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 provides that references to the deleted provisions of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 are construed as references to the regulation and read in accordance with the correlation table in its Annex III: the Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 that Article 30(1) of the directive cites is now Article 19 of the regulation, and the Article 21 it cites for corrective action is now Article 18. Listing the directive as point 37 of Annex I is what brings it inside the regulation's market surveillance chapter in the first place. The directive is not in the Article 4(5) list of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, so the duty to have an economic operator established in the Union responsible for a product does not follow from that article for transportable pressure equipment; it is instead listed as point 15 of Annex II to that regulation, the Union harmonisation legislation without provisions on penalties, so Article 41 of the regulation requires Member States to lay down effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties for infringements of it. In Denmark the directive is implemented by executive order nr. 483 of 28 May 2026 on the construction of transportable pressure equipment (bekendtgørelse om indretning m.v. af transportabelt trykbærende udstyr), which reproduces the directive as amended as its annex 1, rests on the product act (lov om produkter og markedsovervågning, LBK nr. 22 of 8 January 2026) and replaced executive order nr. 685 of 10 June 2013 from 30 May 2026; the product act lists the directive in section 2 as product area nr. 6 and names Erhvervsstyrelsen as the control authority, a task carried out since 1 December 2018 by Sikkerhedsstyrelsen, since January 2026 the department Markedsovervågning of Erhvervsstyrelsen, while the control authority's own guidance on pressure equipment states that Arbejdstilsynet remains the market surveillance authority for pressure equipment and pressure vessels made to order and for equipment imported from third countries for offshore oil and gas activities under the offshore safety act. That guidance is written for pressure equipment and pressure vessels, not for transportable pressure equipment, whose scope is set by the ADR and RID annexes to Directive 2008/68/EC and knows no 'made to order' category; for transportable pressure equipment only the offshore leg is capable of applying. 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; executive order nr. 483 of 28 May 2026 does not mention Arbejdstilsynet at all, and the product act does not name it for this product area. Erhvervsstyrelsen also designates the Danish notified bodies on the basis of DANAK accreditation, handles complaints against their decisions within 4 weeks, issues the Article 33c emergency authorisations and prioritises market surveillance under Article 33d. The toolkit is an evaluation of equipment presenting a risk, corrective action, withdrawal or recall within a period commensurate with the risk, provisional measures prohibiting or restricting the making available where the operator does not act, an order to end formal non-compliance such as a Pi marking affixed in violation of Articles 12 to 15, a missing Pi marking or missing or incomplete technical documentation, and national penalties that may include criminal sanctions for serious infringements.",

    "text": "The directive leaves penalties to the Member States. Article 14(7) requires them to ensure the correct implementation of the rules governing the Pi marking, to take appropriate action in the event of improper use of the marking and to provide for penalties for infringements, which may include criminal sanctions for serious infringements and which must be proportionate to the seriousness of the offence and constitute an effective deterrent against improper use. Because the directive is listed as point 15 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, the Union harmonisation legislation without provisions on penalties, Article 41 of that regulation additionally requires Member States to lay down effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties for infringements of it that impose obligations on economic operators. The enforcement route runs through Articles 30 to 33: market surveillance authorities evaluate equipment they have sufficient reason to believe presents a risk to the health or safety of persons or to other aspects of public interest protection, require the economic operator to take corrective action, to withdraw the equipment or to recall it within a reasonable period commensurate with the risk, inform the relevant notified body, and where the operator does not act take provisional measures prohibiting or restricting the making available on their national market, withdrawing or recalling the equipment and notify the Commission and the other Member States; a measure no Member State or the Commission objects to within two months is deemed justified, and disputes go through the Union safeguard procedure. Compliant equipment that still presents a risk can be dealt with the same way, and formal non-compliance, a Pi marking affixed in violation of Articles 12, 13, 14 or 15, a missing Pi marking, technical documentation that is not available or not complete, or any failure to comply with the Annexes to Directive 2008/68/EC and the directive, must be ended, failing which the equipment is restricted, prohibited, recalled or withdrawn. In Denmark, executive order nr. 483 of 28 May 2026 punishes with a fine, unless a higher penalty is due under other law, breaches of its § 4 on placing on the market, making available and use, of § 7, stk. 3, on the Danish or English information and labelling of crisis-relevant goods and of the directive reproduced in its annex 1, as well as failure to comply with decisions, orders or prohibitions, with corporate liability under chapter 5 of the criminal code; the product act lists the directive as product area nr. 6 and gives the control authority orders to warn users and to stop misleading marketing, prohibitions, and orders to remedy, to stop sales, to withdraw, recall or destroy, and fines. The product act's marking provision (section 15) reaches only the CE marking, which transportable pressure equipment does not bear; a Pi marking affixed in violation of Articles 12 to 15 is instead a breach of annex 1 to the executive order, punishable by a fine under its section 11(1)(1), and the control authority acts through the general orders and prohibitions in sections 14 and 16 of the product act. The executive order itself provides only for fines (section 11). The product act's own penalty provision 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 systematic breaches for gain — but only for the offences listed in section 37(1)(1) and (3) to (10), that is breaches of the act's own product requirements, of the duty to give the control authority information and access and of its decisions, on product areas covered by section 2(1)(1) to (11) or (13) to (43); transportable pressure equipment is product area nr. 6 and therefore inside that band. It does not extend to breaches of the executive order's own rules, and the points that rest on Article 4 and Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 cannot apply here, because the directive is not in the Article 4(5) list. The control authority is Erhvervsstyrelsen, whose department Markedsovervågning continues the tasks of Sikkerhedsstyrelsen since January 2026; Arbejdstilsynet remains responsible for custom-made transportable pressure equipment and equipment imported for offshore oil and gas activities.",

      "a": "The directive was adopted on 16 June 2010, published in the Official Journal on 30 June 2010 and entered into force on 20 July 2010, the twentieth day after publication. Member States had to bring the transposing laws into force by 30 June 2011, and Directives 76/767/EEC, 84/525/EEC, 84/526/EEC, 84/527/EEC and 1999/36/EC were repealed with effect from 1 July 2011, with references to Directive 1999/36/EC construed as references to this directive. Two later dates complete the picture: Article 21(2)(d), the accreditation certificate in an application for notification, had to be applied from 1 January 2012 at the latest, and the rules had to be applied to pressure receptacles, valves and accessories for UN No 1745, UN No 1746 and UN No 2495 from 1 July 2013 at the latest.

      "a": "The Pi marking indicates that the transportable pressure equipment is in conformity with the applicable conformity assessment requirements set out in the Annexes to Directive 2008/68/EC and in the directive, and it is the only marking that attests that conformity for the directive's purposes; equipment under TPED does not carry a CE marking under this directive. It may be affixed only by the manufacturer, or in the case of reassessment as set out in Annex III, and for gas cylinders previously complying with Directives 84/525/EEC, 84/526/EEC or 84/527/EEC by or under the surveillance of the notified body. It must respect the proportions of the graduated drawing in Article 15(1), be at least 5 mm high, or 2,5 mm for equipment with a diameter of 140 mm or less, be affixed visibly, legibly and permanently to the equipment or its data plate and to demountable parts with a direct safety function before they are placed on the market, and be followed by the identification number of the notified body involved in the initial inspections and tests.

      "q": "Who carries out periodic and intermediate inspections, and what happens if a cylinder is overdue?",
      "a": "Periodic inspection, intermediate inspection and exceptional check are defined by reference to the Annexes to Directive 2008/68/EC, which set both the procedures and the intervals, and they are carried out by bodies notified under the directive in accordance with the terms of their notification. Equipment that already bears the Pi marking or the markings of Directives 84/525/EEC, 84/526/EEC, 84/527/EEC or 1999/36/EC stays subject to them for its whole service life and must also meet the specifications of the documentation according to which it was manufactured. The date of the periodic or, where appropriate, intermediate inspection is marked together with the identification number of the notified body responsible. An owner who considers or has reason to believe that equipment does not comply with those Annexes, including the periodic inspection requirements, must neither make it available nor use it until it has been brought into conformity, and an operator may use only conforming equipment, so an overdue receptacle cannot lawfully be filled or used until it has been re-inspected.

    {
      "q": "How does reassessment of conformity work for older cylinders and tanks?",
      "a": "Reassessment of conformity is the procedure undertaken at the request of the owner or operator for the subsequent assessment of equipment manufactured and placed on the market before the date of implementation of Directive 1999/36/EC (1 July 2001, or 1 July 2005 for pressure drums, bundles of cylinders and tanks), and Annex III sets it out. The owner or operator gives a type A notified body conforming to EN ISO/IEC 17020:2004 and notified for reassessment the information that identifies the equipment precisely, including origin, design rules and, for acetylene cylinders, details of the porous material, together with any prescribed restrictions on use and any notes on possible damage or repairs. The body assesses, on that information and where appropriate further inspections, whether the equipment affords at least the same degree of safety as equipment under the Annexes to Directive 2008/68/EC. If the result is satisfactory the equipment goes through a periodic inspection; if that is met, the Pi marking is applied by or under the surveillance of the notified body responsible for the periodic inspection, followed by its identification number, and a certificate of reassessment is issued. For series-produced pressure receptacles a Member State may allow individual receptacles to be reassessed by the body notified for periodic inspection once the type has been assessed by a type A body and a certificate of type reassessment issued, which must state that it does not authorise manufacture.",

      "q": "Who enforces TPED in Denmark?",
      "a": "The directive is implemented by executive order nr. 483 of 28 May 2026 on the construction of transportable pressure equipment, in force from 30 May 2026, which reproduces the directive as amended as its annex 1 and replaced executive order nr. 685 of 10 June 2013. The order rests on the product act, which lists the directive as product area nr. 6 and names Erhvervsstyrelsen as the control authority; Sikkerhedsstyrelsen has carried out the control of transportable pressure equipment since 1 December 2018 and is since January 2026 the department Markedsovervågning of Erhvervsstyrelsen, while the control authority's own guidance on pressure equipment states that Arbejdstilsynet remains the market surveillance authority for pressure equipment and pressure vessels made to order and for equipment imported from third countries for offshore oil and gas activities under the offshore safety act. That guidance is written for pressure equipment and pressure vessels, not for transportable pressure equipment, whose scope is set by the ADR and RID annexes to Directive 2008/68/EC and knows no 'made to order' category; for transportable pressure equipment only the offshore leg is capable of applying. 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; executive order nr. 483 of 28 May 2026 does not mention Arbejdstilsynet at all, and the product act does not name it for this product area. Erhvervsstyrelsen designates the Danish notified bodies, which must be legal persons established in Denmark accredited by DANAK for the task and meeting Articles 20, 21, 26, 27 and 29 of the directive, supervises them, hears complaints against their decisions within 4 weeks, may allow the simplified reassessment of series-produced receptacles and issues the emergency authorisations. The road, rail and inland waterway carriage rules themselves are enforced by the transport and emergency-management authorities rather than by Erhvervsstyrelsen.",

      "a": "It added the definitions of crisis-relevant goods and internal market emergency mode to Article 2 and inserted Chapter 5a, Articles 33a to 33d, together with a committee procedure in Article 38a that uses the committee on the transport of dangerous goods established by Article 9 of Directive 2008/68/EC. The measures apply only if the Commission has adopted an implementing act under Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2747 for transportable pressure equipment, only to equipment designated as crisis-relevant goods and only during an activated internal market emergency mode. Notified bodies then prioritise applications for such equipment without disproportionate extra cost and make reasonable efforts to increase testing capacity; a Member State may authorise the placing on the market on its territory of specific equipment for which the notified-body procedures have not been carried out but compliance has been demonstrated as the authorisation prescribes; the Commission can extend the authorisation Union-wide, in which case the equipment must carry the information that it is placed on the market as a crisis-relevant good; such equipment does not bear the Pi marking and Article 16 on free movement does not apply to it; and market surveillance for the listed equipment is prioritised with mutual assistance between authorities.

      "a": "Yes. The directive is unusual among the product directives in placing duties on the people who own and use the equipment, not only on those who place it on the market. An owner must not make available or use equipment it considers or has reason to believe is not in conformity with the Annexes to Directive 2008/68/EC, including the periodic inspection requirements, until it has been brought into conformity, must inform the manufacturer, importer or distributor and the market surveillance authorities where it presents a risk, must document those instances and the corrective measures, must keep storage and transport conditions from jeopardising compliance and may give operators only compliant information. An operator, meaning anyone who fills, temporarily stores in connection with carriage, empties or refills the equipment, may use only conforming equipment and must inform the owner and the market surveillance authorities where the equipment presents a risk. Both count as economic operators when they act in the course of a commercial or public service activity and must identify their suppliers and customers for at least 10 years.

      "summary": "Chapter III, Articles 15 to 29, of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, which Articles 16 and 30 of the directive cite, is deleted, and Article 39(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 provides that references to the deleted provisions of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 are construed as references to the regulation and read in accordance with the correlation table in its Annex III: the Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 that Article 30(1) of the directive cites is now Article 19 of the regulation, and the Article 21 it cites for corrective action is now Article 18. Listing the directive as point 37 of Annex I is what brings it inside the regulation's market surveillance chapter in the first place; the directive is also listed as point 15 of its Annex II, the Union harmonisation legislation without provisions on penalties, so Article 41 of the regulation requires effective, proportionate and dissuasive national penalties. The directive is not in the Article 4(5) list, so the regulation's duty to have an economic operator established in the Union responsible for the product does not arise from that article for transportable pressure equipment.",
