TÜV SÜD: Rosswag certified as manufacturer for AM pressure equipment

Pressure equipment must meet the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. Rosswag Engineering, a leading supplier of special metal powders, high-quality components and qualification services in metal 3D printing, has been certified by TÜV SÜD for the additive manufacturing of components made of 1.4404 (316L) according to the PED.

3D printing technology enables printing equipment manufacturers to overcome limitations of classic manufacturing processes and produce complex geometric shapes or economical small batches. The challenge is to demonstrate the compliance of additively manufactured products with applicable regulatory requirements. TÜV SÜD developed a certification program that takes into account the general safety requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.

Rosswag Engineering was one of the first manufacturers worldwide to be certified by TÜV SÜD for the production of AM components made of 1.4404 (316 L). The company completed the comprehensive testing and certification program in accordance with DIN 17026:2020, which certifies the quality of the entire process – from the consistency of the manufacturing processes to internal quality assurance and controls to the reproducibility of the mechanical-technological properties, taking into account the PED requirements. Over 100 test specimens were manufactured and tested on the SLM280 2.0 LPBF machine.

“We want to offer solutions to transfer more functional optimized and additive manufactured components into industrial applications. But to be able to apply innovative heat exchangers, for example, there was no alternative to certification according to the Pressure Equipment Directive,” Gregor Graf, Head of Engineering at Rosswag GmbH.

“With our certification according to the Pressure Equipment Directive, we can also confirm the high quality, reliability and safety of Rosswag GmbH’s additive manufactured products for the end user,” says Gunther Kuhn, Head of Product Management at TÜV SÜD Industry Service GmbH.
