The frequency for the periodic requalification
check of:
• functioning of the container and of the
pressure equipment set and of the related
protection/safety devices/accessories is
established to be every 2 years (accord-
ing to the Italian law D.M. 1/12/2004, No.
329);

8 - MAINTENANCE | 25 EN
withstanding that:
• the national laws in force of the country
where the Flushing Kit is commissioned
do not provide for a higher frequency
(lower period of time);
• the bodies in charge, after the results of
the previous checks performed (of com-
missioning or period requalification) do not
establish different frequencies.
The checks must be performed by the bodies
in charge of the country where the equipment is
used, in compliance with the national laws/rules
and the respective procedures.
Please identify and contact these bodies in or-
der to establish performance times and modes
of commissioning and periodic requalification
checks (integrity, functioning, or any other
scheduled checks).
Depending on local legislation, the checks may
be extended to other components to verify the
metrological characteristics of the integrated
instrumentation and the presence of essential
equipment and accessories.
Here below, some possible checks on compo-
nents subject to the PED directive are outlined.
