1 Scope

This Note lists in Table 1 current, draft and proposed guidance notes developed for the pressure industry and above institutions and others interested in pressure equipment (PE).

2 Purpose

The Note aims to help interested persons access or improve existing Guidance Notes (GN), or suggest or initiate other useful Notes.

3 Status

This Note supersedes the list of recommended GNs in WTIA/AICIP PE Industry Report October 2010.

It is proposed to also include revisions of selected earlier Statutory Authority Pressure Equipment Notes available in APEK GN 011.

Available Notes are shown red bold. The column “Status” in Table 1 gives the % completed and priority at date of this GN.
