Compliance & Certification
TankBuilder designs and manufactures in strict accordance with PED, EN13445, and PD5500 standards.
Our processes are fully traceable and quality-controlled, giving customers complete confidence in the integrity of every tank we produce. Where certification is required — whether specified by the customer or dictated by the design — we arrange for an accredited notified body to oversee design verification, manufacturing, and final inspection.
This ensures full compliance and official certification, so every TankBuilder vessel meets the highest regulatory and safety standards.
EN13445
EN 13445 is the European standard for unfired pressure vessels, setting strict rules for safety and design. At TankBuilder, we design and manufacture fully in line with this standard, supported by our custom software and quality controls.
PD5500
PD5500 is the UK standard for unfired pressure vessels, widely recognised for its detailed design and safety guidance. When required, TankBuilder manufactures in full compliance with PD5500, applying rigorous quality control at every stage.
ASME
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is the internationally recognised standard for pressure vessel design and manufacture. TankBuilder can design and build vessels in line with ASME requirements, ensuring the same precision and quality we apply to European standards.
