Safety instructions and measures
Safety features
The Type42-36E Pressure-independent Control Valve (PICV) with an electric actuator without
fail-safe action does not have any special safety features.
The Type42-36E Pressure-independent Control Valve (PICV) with an electric actuator with
fail-safe action moves to a certain fail-safe position upon supply voltage failure. The fail-safe
action of SAMSON actuators is specied on the actuator nameplate.
When relieved of pressure, the regulator without an electric actuator and with an open re-
striction is opened by the force of the set point springs.
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 dened 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 specied 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.
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 Equip-
ment (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 proce-
dure. The declaration of conformity is included in the 'Certicates' section.
According to the ignition hazard assessment performed in accordance with Clause5.2 of
ISO80079-36, the non-electrical regulators do not have their own potential ignition source
