Accredited Services through Partnership with DNV
At HSNS Nordic AB, project efficiency reflects our ability to manage inspection and conformity activities in a structured, coordinated, and value-focused way across the entire project lifecycle.
Through our partnership with DNV, we provide accredited inspection and technical consultancy services that ensure full compliance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU) — delivered with efficiency, precision, and confidence.
By identifying, integrating, and aligning both accredited and non-accredited activities early in the process, we enable a seamless workflow from design to delivery, reducing delays, eliminating redundancies, and ensuring all regulatory requirements are met in the most effective way.
PED Compliance Strategy and Roadmap
Our PED Compliance Strategy is built around a clear roadmap that guides our clients through every stage of the conformity assessment process — from initial evaluation to final verification and approval.
Our structured approach includes:
- Gap Analysis and Risk Identification – assessing existing designs, processes, and documentation to identify potential deviations and safety risks early.
- Project Scope Definition – mapping all components such as pressure vessels, piping systems, safety accessories, and instrumentation within the PED scope.
- Module Selection and Assessment Planning – determining the appropriate PED modules (e.g., A2, B, C2, F, G) and developing detailed assessment plans with defined timelines, responsibilities, and documentation requirements.
- Optimization of Assessment and NoBo Involvement – tailoring Notified Body participation, supplier scope, and client-specific requirements to deliver cost-efficient and value-adding solutions.
- Implementation and Technical Support – providing expert assistance in regulatory compliance, technical documentation, material evaluation, and test protocols.
- Verification and Approval – conducting detailed inspections and audits in coordination with Notified Bodies for final validation and approval.
- Continuous Improvement – maintaining long-term compliance through internal audits, follow-up reviews, and proactive monitoring of regulatory changes.
This structured process results in a Conformity Assessment Roadmap, serving as the foundation for traceability, quality assurance, and effective project control.

UITP™ – Umbrella Inspection and Test Plan
At the core of our methodology lies the UITP™ (Umbrella Inspection and Test Plan) — a central control document that unifies all inspection activities, conformity steps, documentation, and responsibilities within a single framework.
The UITP™ enables:
Each component within the project is assigned its own individual ITP, aligned under the overarching UITP™ structure.
This creates a comprehensive project management tool, ensuring faster decisions, improved efficiency, and predictable outcomes — all while maintaining full PED compliance.
