Note:
Non-electric control valve versions whose bodies are not lined with an in-
sulating material coating do not have their own potential ignition source accord-
ing to the risk assessment stipulated in EN 13463-1: 2009, section 5.2, even in
the rare incident of an operating fault. Therefore, such valve versions do not fall
within the scope of Directive 2014/34/EU.

specified in section 6.3 of EN 60079-14: 2011 (VDE 0165 Part 1).
