– RISK ANALYSIS
This document assesses the risks relating to the equipment indicated above, which can arise during its use, installation
or movement, in compliance with the provisions of the Directive PED 2014/68/EU. The provisions are also indicated to
comply with to avoid them arising.
The classification of the SOLUTIONS implemented is as follows:
1. Solution to eliminate and/or reduce the risk.
2. Application of the appropriate safety measures against the risks which cannot be eliminated
3. Information for users
CAUSE
EXCESS PRESSURE OVER THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED PRESSURE
“PN”
EFFECT
Broken body, cracks, permanent deformations
DANGER
Projection of metal parts, leaking fluid
SOLUTION
1. The body unit is constructed with due safety margins.
2.
The system must be fitted with the “Safety Accessories” planned by the Decrees in place
in the country of origin.
3.
The label outlines the maximum permitted pressure “PN”
CAUSE
EXCESS PRESSURE OVER THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED TEMPERATURE “TS”
EFFECT
Internal excess pressure
DANGER
Breakage or deformation of the body, leaking fluid
SOLUTION
1. The body unit is constructed with due safety margins.
2.
The system must be fitted with the “Safety Accessories” planned by the Decrees in place
in the country of origin.
3.
The maximum temperature is declared on our “data sheet” specifications and must be
checked by whoever sizes and/or chooses the valve
CAUSE
REACTION FORCE TO EXTERNAL STRESS
EFFECT
Deformation, structural failure
DANGER
Breakage or deformation of the body, leaking fluid
SOLUTION
1. Check there are not external loads, it is compulsory for the installation technician to
protect the valve from external stress.
2. This manual, in section 2 point 2.1 describes the indications in point 1 and 2.
3. The installation technician must check the valve is free of hazards due to external reaction
forces and/or stress.
CAUSE
WORKING TEMPERATURES
EFFECT
Metal parts at high temperature
DANGER
Burns
SOLUTION
1. Install the valve in a protected area or insulate the valve.
2. The user must signal the hazard using suitable signs indicating the parts can reach high
and dangerous temperatures. It is indicated in section 1 of the manual. “General safety
information”
3. Wear adequate personal protection
CAUSE
INSTALLATION AND/OR USE NON-COMPLIANT WITH THE PROVISIONS, THE
DIRECTIVES IN FORCE AND NATIONAL LEGISLATION
EFFECT
Inappropriate installation, breakage of the valve
DANGER
Poor system operation, leaking fluids
SOLUTION
1. The installation technician and/or user must install the valve in compliance with the
Directives in force and national legislation
2. Not applied
3.
In this manual, it is described in point 1. “General safety information”
