What is the difference between PED and ASME?
The PED is a regulation at the location of in- stallation, and enforced by laws in the entire EU. ASME Code on the other hand is a technical standard in this context. It is not enforced by law in the EU, and used for the technical details of the design and fabrication of pressure equipment.

What’s the difference between AD 2000 merkblatter and PED?
Effectively, the harmonized standards are intended to replace the old country-specific standards (e.g. AD 2000 Merkblatt, Stoomwezen, etc) which were used prior to PED. By using a harmonized standard, one is granted the automatic presumption of compliance with PED. That’s not true when you use a non-harmonized standard.

Is the ad merkblatt standard a harmonized standard?
AD Merkblatt was updated to make it compliant with the PED technical requirements, but it’s not a harmonized standard. That doesn’t mean it can’t be used. It just means that its use doesn’t infer automatic PED conformity. My observation is that the transition to use of harmonized standards has been relatively slow.
