Directives and Standards

VdTÜV Bulletin “Wasserstand 100” (= Water Level 100)

The level switch NRS 1-53 in conjunction with level electrodes NRG 10-52, NRG 16-52,  

NRG 16-4 and ER 5.-1 is type approved to  VdTÜV Bulletin “Water Level 100”. 

The VdTÜV Bulletin “Wasserstand (= Water Level) 100” specifies the requirements made on water level 

control and limiting equipment for boilers.  

ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible)

According to the European Directive 2014/34/EU the equipment must 

not

 be used in explosion risk areas. 

Note

The level electrodes NRG 10-52, NRG 16-52, NRG 16-4 and ER 5.-1 are simple items of 

electrical equipment as specified in EN 60079-11 section 5.7. According to the European 

Directive 2014/34/EU the equipment must be equipped with approved Zener barriers if used 

in potentially explosive areas.  

Applicable in Ex zones 1, 2 (1999/92/EC).  

The equipment does not bear an  Ex marking. 

LV (Low Voltage) Directive and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

The equipment meets the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and the EMC Direc-

tive 2014/30/EU.

Note on the Declaration of Conformity / Declaration by the Manufacturer   

For details on the conformity of our equipment according to the European Directives see our Declara-

tion of Conformity or our Declaration of Manufacturer.

The current Declaration of Conformity / Declaration of Manufacturer are available in the Internet under
