    1.4.1 European Pressure Equipment Directive and EMC directive Up to 60 bars, MIVI sensors are in accordance to the article 4.3 of the PED 2014/68/UE. In case of higher pressure, sensors are agreed one by one. The mounting flange is an accessory to be welded on the process line. It means it cannot be indi- vidually certified but has to be certified with the whole process line.
