Globe Sight Inspections provides inspection, testing and certification services for pressure equipment seeking CE marking under PED 2014/68/EU. We are the first digital-first conformity assessment body — delivering faster, more transparent certification without compromising rigour.
GSI provides the full spectrum of conformity assessment services required to place pressure equipment on the EU market. From initial classification through to final certification, we manage the entire compliance journey.
Pressure equipment classification against PED categories. Selection of the applicable conformity assessment module (A through H1) based on equipment type, fluid group, and risk level.
Comprehensive assessment of Technical Construction Files. Evaluation of design calculations, hazard analysis, materials, welding procedures, and harmonised standard compliance.
On-site witnessing of hydrostatic tests, NDT, and final inspection. Real-time digital recording of all inspection data with immutable audit trail and geolocation stamping.
Certification of welders and permanent joining personnel under ISO 17024. Approval of welding procedures (WPS/WPQR) for pressure-bearing joints in Categories II, III, and IV.
Assessment and certification of manufacturer quality management systems under PED Modules D, E, and H. ISO 17021-1 accredited audit and certification of QMS to EN ISO 3834.
Issuance of EU-recognised certificates of conformity enabling CE marking. All certificates issued under digital signature of an Authorised Signatory and archived in immutable WORM storage.
GSI operates on a digital-first model. All compliance activities are managed through our secure client portal — giving manufacturers real-time visibility of their file status, findings, and certification progress.
Traditional Notified Bodies return findings after 4–8 weeks. By that point, a minor error restarts the entire cycle. GSI's portal surfaces non-conformances in real time, giving your team the opportunity to resolve issues before they become delays.
48-hour turnaround applies to complete technical files. Complex or incomplete submissions may require additional time.
