2.2 Handling in accordance with safety requirements
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer and the opera-
tor of the machine to ensure that the valves are handled in
accordance with safety requirements.
WARNING
As in any electronic control system, the failure of certain
components in valves as well might lead to an uncon-
trolled and/or unpredictable operational sequence. All
types of failure on a system level must be taken into con-
sideration and appropriate protective measures must be
taken.
The use of automatic control technology in a machine calls for
special measures.
If automatic control technology is to be used, the user should,
in addition to all of the potentially available standards or guide-
lines on safety-engineering installations, consult the manufac-
turers of the components used in great depth.
