EB 8012 EN 7Safety instructions and measuresReferenced standards and regulationsThe control valves comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Direc-tive 97/23/EC. Valves with a CE marking have a declaration of conformity which includesinformation about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This declaration of confor-mity is included in the Appendix of these instructions (see section 10.2).According to the ignition risk assessment performed in accordance with EN 13463-1:2009,section 5.2, the non-electrical control valves do not have their own potential ignition sourceeven in the rare incident of an operating fault. As a result, they do not fall within the scope ofDirective 94/9/EC.Î For connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specified insection 6.3 of EN 60079-14:2014-10 (VDE 0165 Part 1).Referenced documentationThe following documents apply in addition to these mounting and operating instructions:− Mounting and operating instructions for mounted actuator, e.g. u EB 8310-X forType 3271 and Type 3277 Actuators− Mounting and operating instructions for mounted valve accessories (positioner, solenoidvalve etc.)− u AB 0100 for tools and lubricant1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injuryDANGER!Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.Control valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can leadto valve components bursting.Î Before starting any work on the control valve, depressurize all plant sectionsconcerned and the valve.Î Drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned as well as thevalve.Î Wear personal protective equipment.
