Appendix 1

1) Council Directive 87 /404/EEC of 25. June 1987 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to simple pressure containers have been substantially amended on several occasions. 1) The directive should, for reasons of clarity and rationalisation, be codified.

2) Member States shall ensure, even for their own territory, to protect persons, livestock and objects against the risk of leaks or explosions to which simple pressure vessels may be connected.

3) Member States shall have essential provisions concerning in particular the level of safety which simple pressure vessels must comply with, and concerning the design data, operation and conditions of installation and use, and they have procedures for control prior to and ; After marketing. Such provisions do not necessarily lead to different levels of safety in the different Member States, but the differences between them are obstructions in intra-Community trade.

4) This Directive should only contain essential and essential requirements, in order to facilitate the evidence of compliance with these essential requirements, for example, the need for simple pressure vessels at Community level to be subject to harmonised standards, in particular, for example. the construction, operation and installation of the products which meet these standards may be presumed to be in conformity with the essential safety requirements ; such harmonised Community standards shall be established by private bodies and should retain ; their non-binding status. To this end, the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) is recognised by the European Committee on Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), as bodies with competence to adopt harmonized standards in accordance with the general guidelines for cooperation between the Commission, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and those three bodies signed on 28. March 2003.

5) The Council has issued a number of directives aimed at the removal of technical barriers to trade, based on the principles of the Council resolution of 7. In May 1985, a new approach to technical harmonisation and standards ; each of these directives contains provisions for the affixing of the CE marking. The Commission has in its communication of 15. June 1989 on a global approach to certification and testing proposed a common system of a CE marking in a single graphical form. The Council has in its resolution of 21. In December 1989, a global method of conformity assessment approved as a guiding principle that such a cohesive method is used for the use of the CE marking. The two basic elements of the new approach, which should be applied, are the essential requirements and the conformity assessment procedures.

6) Compliance with these technical requirements to protect users and third parties is necessary to monitor compliance with these technical requirements. The current control procedures are not the same in the different Member States. In order to avoid dupdupate controls that are at the same time as obstacles to the free movement of these containers, Member States should recognise each other's checks. In order to facilitate this mutual control recognition, Community procedures should include, inter alia, the criteria to be used for the appointment of the bodies to take care of investigations, monitoring and control.

7) If a simple pressure container is equipped with CE marking, it should be presumed to be in conformity with this Directive, and repetition of the checks already carried out during its import or entry into service should therefore be unnecessary. Nevertheless, simple pressure vessels will put safety at risk. A procedure should therefore be laid down, which could reduce that risk.

The present Directive should not affect the obligations of the Member States as regards the time limits set out in Annex IV, Part B, for transposition into national law and the application of the Directives,
