1.6 European Union Directives
1.6.1 EU Machinery Directive
The AMOT Model G Valve, as a component, is not considered to be a machine.
To fully comply with the Directive however, the machine into which the valve is
installed must comply with the requirements of the machinery directive before
the valve is put into operation.
1.6.2 EU Low Voltage Directive
All versions of Electric actuator described in this manual have been assessed
against the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive, and have found to be in
conformance.
1.6.3 EU EMC Directive
All versions of Electric actuator described in this manual have been assessed
against the requirements of the EMC Directive, and have found to be in
conformance.
1.6.4 EU Pressure Equipment Directive
In its design application of a temperature control valve, the AMOT Model G
Valve is defined as a Pressure Accessory under the terms of the EU Pressure
Equipment Directive (PED).
Valves used with fluids defined as Group 2 in the Directive (such as water and
lubricating oil) fall into the Sound Engineering Practice (SEP) category.
Some valves are also rated for use with Group 1 liquids under the SEP
category.
Table 1 contains details of the groups each valve type falls into and the
associated maximum working pressure of the valve.
