Approval for Commissioning
A supplement on the Pressure Equipment Directive
Unlike new machines, the Approval for Commissioning is not (yet) institutionalised on an European scale. Each individual member state has its own rules and legislation. The responsibility rests upon the user, not the manufacturer.
The Dutch situation: According to the Netherlands Approval for Commissioning, approval is required in case the design pressure times the volume exceeds 1000, or: Ps x V = > 1000. In this case a notified boby (NoBo) has to check if the machine is connected and used in a proper manner. The manual and the CE-certificate (according to PED 97/23/CE) will definitely have be presented. Of course Gritco's blast pots come with these important ingredients.
- The Approval for Commissioning does not replace the Pressure Equipment Directive but complements it!

The nozzles have a long venturi shape with a wide entry. This increases abrasive velocity and creates a wide and even blast pattern. The aluminium jacket has a coarse thread/50 mm to fit standard nozzle holders. The jackets have an extra rubber
