than 100°C comprising at least one item of fired or otherwise
heated pressure equipment presenting a risk of overheating.
|
| 2.2. |
Assemblies other than those referred to in 2.1, if the manufacturer intends them to be
placed on the market and put into service as assemblies. |
|
| 2.3. |
By way of derogation from the introductory paragraph to this section, assemblies
intended for generating warm water at temperatures not greater than 110 °C which are

Article 4 Free movement
Member States shall not, on grounds of the hazards due to pressure,
prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on the market or putting into service under the
conditions specified by the manufacturer of pressure equipment or assemblies referred to
in Article 1 which comply with this Directive and bear the
CE marking indicating that they have undergone conformity assessment in accordance with Article 10.
|
| 1.2. |
Member States shall not, on grounds of the hazards due to pressure, prohibit, restrict
or impede the placing on the market or putting into service of pressure equipment or
assemblies which comply with Article 3 (3).
|
| 2. |
Member States may require, to the extent that it is needed for safe and correct use of
pressure equipment and assemblies, the information referred to in Annex I sections 3.3 and 3.4 to be provided in the
official language(s) of the Community which may be determined in accordance with the
Treaty by the Member State in which the equipment or assembly reaches the final
user. |
