Operating and maintenance instructions
DECLARATION AS PER EC-DIRECTIVES
Requirement as per Annex I MD 2006/42/EC The following applies to ball valves as per list on page 2 if supplied with actuator:
1.1.1. g) Intended use See installation and operating instructions
1.1.2. c) Foreseeable misuse See installation and operating instructions
1.1.2. c) Required protective equipment Same as for pipe section into which the valve is installed.
1.1.2. e) Accessories No special tools required for replacement of wear parts
1.1.3 Wetted parts
The materials of the wetted parts are specified in the type data sheet as well as in the order confirmation
issued by Kugelhahn Müller. It is assumed that the user carries out a respective risk analysis concerning the
resistance to the operating fluid.
1.1.5. Handling Satisfied by the notes in the installation and operating instructions
1.2 and 6.2.11 Control system Is the responsibility of the user in accordance with the documentation of the actuator
1.3.2 Preventing breakage
For parts under pressure:
See Declaration of Conformity to PED 2014/68EC.
For functional parts: Ensured when actuator is used as intended
1.3.4. Sharp edges or angles Requirements fulfilled.
1.3.7./.8 Risks related to moving parts Requirements are fulfilled when used as intended.
1.5.1. – 1.5.3 .Energy supply Is the responsibility of the user. Also refer to documentation of the actuator.
1.5.5. Operating temperature Warnings against unauthorized exceedance: see installation and operating instructions, sections (intended
use) and (safety notes).
1.5.7 Explosion
When used in potentially explosive atmosphere:
-Protection required for actuator. Must be explicitly agreed on in purchase contract.
1.5.13. Emission of dangerous substances Not applicable.
1.6.1. Maintenance See operating instructions. Clarify storage of wear parts with manufacturer.
1.7.3. Marking Valve: As per section 3 of installation and operating instructions.
Actuator: See documentation of actuator manufacturer.
1.7.4. Operating instructions The installation and operating instructions contains notes on the operation of the valve during regular
industrial use as per section 1 of these instructions.
Any additions required to the operating instructions of the (complete machine) in case of special application
are the responsibility of the planner / user.
Annex III The valve is not a (complete machine):
Therefore, there is no CE marking for conformity with the machinery directive.
Annexes IV, VIII-XI Not applicable.
Requirements as per EN 12100 -
1. Scope Basis for the analysis is the Product Standard EN1983: (Metallic ball valves) with actuator.
The basis is also formed by the long-standing experience in the use of the valve types mentioned on page 2.
Note: It must be assumed that the user carries out a risk analysis specifically adapted to the operating
conditions as per clauses 4 to 6 of EN 12100 for the pipe section, including the valves installed therein.
Kugelhahn Müller cannot carry out such an analysis for standard valves.
3.20, 6.1 Inherently safe design The valves are designed in accordance with the principle of (inherently safe design).
Analysis as per clauses 4, 5 and 6 Experiences with malfunctions and misuse documented at the manufacturer within the scope of claims
(documentation as per ISO 9001) served as basis.
5.3 Limits of the machine The limits of the (incomplete machine) were defined as per the (intended use) on both the valve and the
actuator.
5.4 Decommissioning, disposal Not the responsibility of the manufacturer Kugelhahn Müller.
6.2.2 Geometrical factors This section does not apply since valve and actuator are enclosed by the movable functional parts during
intended use..
6.3 Technical protective devices If applicable, only required for accessories - see order confirmation.
6.4.5. Operating instructions Since actuated valves operate "automatically" according to the commands from the control system, the
operating instructions describe aspects that are (typical for valves)..
7 Risk analysis The risk analysis has been carried out and documented as per MD Annex VII, B) by manufacturer Kugelhahn
Müller.
