(plates, sheets, and strips) made of unalloyed and alloyed steels used in the construction of pressure vessels. Core Purpose and Scope

What happens if an engineer wants to use a newly developed, high-strength alloy that isn't yet in the standard? W1 provides a pathway for this as well. However, using materials not listed in the datasheet requires a .

Merikblatt W1 is the specific component of this code that satisfies the ESR regarding materials (Annex I, Section 4 of the PED). It ensures that materials possess:
