Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop an overview of the standards related to the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (see CIS 98-409). A survey of expert opinion was carried out to determine the degree with which the European standards took account of German regulations, and whether there remained further needs for standardization at the European level. Based on this overview, actions required at the German level with respect to the harmonization of standards for equipment operating under pressure were determined, and are the object of recommendations.
