Safety instructions and measures
Responsibilities of the operator
Operators are responsible for proper use and compliance with the safety regulations. Opera-
tors are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the refer-
enced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation. Fur-
thermore, operators must ensure that operating personnel or third parties are not exposed to
any danger.
Operators are additionally responsible for ensuring that the limits for the product defined in
the technical data are observed. This also applies to the start-up and shutdown procedures.
Start-up and shutdown procedures fall within the scope of the operator's duties and, as such,
are not part of these mounting and operating instructions. SAMSON is unable to make any
statements about these procedures since the operative details (e.g. differential pressures and
temperatures) vary in each individual case and are only known to the operator.
Responsibilities of operating personnel
Operating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as
well as the referenced documents and observe the specified hazard statements, warnings
and caution notes. Furthermore, operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable
health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.
Safety features
The Type 2405 Regulator does not have any special safety features. When relieved of pres
-
sure, the regulator is opened by the force of the set point springs.
Referenced standards, directives and regulations
The regulators comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU, Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Directive 2016 No. 1105 Pressure
Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 and Directive 2008 No. 1597 Supply of Machinery
(Safety) Regulations 2008. Regulators with a CE marking and/or UKCA marking have a
declaration of conformity, which includes information about the applied conformity
assessment procedure. This declaration of conformity is included in the annex of these
instructions (see section 10).
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 hazard assessment stipulated in
Clause 5.2 of ISO 80079-36, 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
Clause 6.4 of EN 60079-14 (VDE 0165-1).
