1.6.2.3 Factory Tag
The factory tag is located on the flowmeter sensor housing. If the pressure equipment is subject
to the PED (see section 3 para. 3 PED 97/23/EC), two labels are required:
Pressure equipment subject to PED
Fig. 4
1 CE mark (with number of labeled
location) to confirm the device meets the
requirements of pressure equipment
directive 97/23/EC.
2 Serial number for identification of the
pressure equipment by the manufacturer.
3 Nominal size and nominal pressure rating
of pressure equipment.
Pressure equipment outside the applicable range of the PED
Fig. 5
The factory tag contains most of the specifications included on the plate described above with
the following differences:
• There is no CE mark because the pressure equipment, as per section 3 para. 3 of the PED,
is outside the applicable range of the pressure equipment directive 97/23/EC.
• The reason for the exception is specified in section 3 para. 3 of the PED. The pressure
equipment is categorized as SEP (= sound engineering practice).
Important
If the factory tag is not present, the device is not in compliance with directive 97/23/EC. The
exception applies for water, power and connected equipment accessories in accordance with
guideline 1/16 of sec. 1 para. 3.2 of the pressure equipment directive.
