Service and recertification of accumulators

Why is service important? 

• Accumulators are pressurized equipment and are subject to strict requirements in laws and regulations (including PED, DSB, internal control regulations).
• Lack of or incorrectly performed service can lead to explosion hazards, malfunctions and risks to life, the environment and material damage.
• Many systems depend on accumulators for emergency functions (e.g. watertight doors, lifeboats, process valves).
• Therefore, service must be performed by competent personnel, and you as the owner/user are responsible for ensuring that proper maintenance is carried out.
