Safety instructions and measures
Operators are additionally responsible for ensuring that the limits for the product dened 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 specied 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 control valves comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Direc-
tive 2014/68/EU, Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Directive2016 No.1105 Pressure
Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 and Directive 2008 No.1597 Supply of Machinery
(Safety) Regulations2008. Valves with a CE marking and/or UKCA marking have a decla-
ration of conformity, which includes information about the applied conformity assessment
procedure. The 'Certicates' chapter contains this declaration of conformity.
According to the ignition hazard assessment performed in accordance with Clause5.2 of
ISO80079-36, the non-electrical control valves do not have their own potential ignition
source even in the rare incident of an operating fault. As a result, they do not fall within the
scope of Directive 2014/34/EU.
Î For connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specied in
Clause6.4 of EN60079-14 (VDE0165-1).
Referenced documentation
The following documents apply in addition to these mounting and operating instructions:

Type3271 or Type3277 Pneumatic Actuator
− Mounting and operating instructions for mounted valve accessories (positioner, solenoid
valve etc.)
