Safety instructions and measures
Referenced standards, directives and regulations
The regulators comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU. Devices with a CE marking have a declaration of conformity, which includes
information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This declaration of confor-
mity is included in the annex of these instructions (see section 10.2).
Non-electric valve versions whose bodies are not lined with an insulating material coating do
not have their own potential ignition source according 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.
Î
For connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specified in
section 6.4 of EN 60079-14 (VDE 0165-1).
1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER
!
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to device
components bursting.
Î
Before starting any work on the device, depressurize all plant sections affected as
well as the valve.
Î
Drain the process medium from all the plant sections affected as well as the valve.
Î
If necessary, a suitable overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plant
section.
Î
Wear personal protective equipment.
