Known U.S. / European Conflicts (6)

DESR 6055.09↔UK ER 2014· Explosives separation distancesSignificant Difference

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.
ASME B31.3↔EN 13480· Process pipingPartial
Partial alignment; supplemental U.S. testing or documentation required.
