EB 2723 EN 7Safety instructions and measuresReferenced standards and regulationsThe regulators comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive2014/68/EU. Regulators with a CE marking have an EU declaration of conformity, whichincludes information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This EU declarationof conformity is included in the Appendix of these instructions (see section 10.3).According to the ignition risk assessment performed in accordance with EN 13463-1:2009,section 5.2, the non-electrical regulators do not have their own potential ignition source evenin the rare incident of an operating fault. As a result, they do not fall within the scope of Di-rective 2014/34/EU.Î For connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specified insection 6.4 of EN 60079-14 (VDE 0165 Part 1).1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injuryDANGER!Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.Regulators and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to regu-lator components bursting.Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for regulator and plant.Î If necessary, a suitable overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plantsection.Î Before starting any work on the regulator, depressurize all plant sectionsconcerned.Î Drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned as well as the reg-ulator.Î Wear personal protective equipment.
