Known U.S. / European Conflicts (8)
DESR 6055.09↔UK ER 2014· Explosives separation distancesSignificant Difference
UK uses HSE separation tables by hazard type; apply the more restrictive distance per exposure and document both.
DESR 6055.09↔SprengG· Explosives licensing and storagePartial
German storage groups map loosely to HD; host-nation licensing is required in addition to DDESB site plan.
DESR 6055.09↔2. SprengV· Storage separation distancesPartial
Compare Lagergruppe distances to DESR QD; use larger value.
40 CFR 70↔2010/75/EU· Air emissions permittingPartial
IED requires BAT conclusions; Title V does not. Prepare BAT assessment for EU sites.
29 CFR 1910.119↔2012/18/EU· Major hazard / process safetyPartial
Seveso requires public safety report and land-use planning beyond PSM.
ASME B31.3↔EN 13480· Process pipingPartial
Partial alignment; supplemental U.S. testing or documentation required.
29 CFR 1910.119↔1999/92/EC· Process safety / workplace explosionSignificant Difference
Fundamental differences; requires AHJ/NRTL review and likely redesign or re-certification.
