  The main linac of the European XFEL will consist of 100 accelerator modules, i.e. 800 superconducting accelerator cavities operated at a design gradient of 23.6MV/m. In this context CEA-Saclay built an assembly facility designed to produce one module per week, ready to be tested at DESY. The facility overcame the foreseen production rate. We would like to highlight and discuss the critical fields: cleanliness and vacuum. A new assembly method to protect final assembly against particulates contamination has been implemented on the production line. Impact on cryomodule RF test is presented. Particle transport measurements on components used for the European XFEL accelerator module are presented. The results indicate that the nominal operation of the automated pumping and venting units will not lead to particle transport. Vacuum acceptance tests are of major interest: leak tests and residual gas analysis (RGA) are used to control the absence of air leak and contamination. The RGA specifications have been slightly relaxed to ensure the production rate.

  The 3.9 GHz cryomodule and RF system for the XFEL Injector is being assembled and delivered to the underground building in summer 2015, for the injector commissioning in Fall 2015. This contribution outlines the status of the activity and reports the preparation stages of the technical commissioning of the system.

  The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EU-XFEL) cold linac consists of 100 assembled cryomodules, 6 feed-/end-boxes and 6 string connection boxes fixed to the ceiling of the accelerator tunnel; the injector consists of a radio frequency gun, one 1.3 GHz and one 3.9 GHz cryomodule, one feed- and one end-cap lying on ground supports. The components are connected together in the tunnel, after cold testing, transport, final positioning and alignment. The cold linac is a pressure equipment and is therefore subjected to the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). This paper describes the welding and subsequent non-destructive testing of the cryo-pipes (with a deeper look at the technical solutions adopted to satisfy the PED requirements), the assembly of the beam line absorbers and the final steps before closing the connection with a DN1000 bellows. A special paragraph will be dedicated to the connection of the injector components, where the lack of space makes this installation a particularly challenging task.
