Notes On Possible Severe Personal Injury - Samson 46-7 Mounting And Operating Instruction

Safety instructions and measures
Referenced standards, directives and regulations
The regulators comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU. Devices with a CE marking have a declaration of conformity, which includes
information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This declaration of confor-
mity is included in the annex of these instructions (see section 10.2).
Non-electric valve versions whose bodies are not lined with an insulating material coating do
not have their own potential ignition source according to the risk assessment stipulated in
EN 13463-1: 2009, section 5.2, even in the rare incident of an operating fault. Therefore,
such valve versions do not fall within the scope of Directive 2014/34/EU.
Î For connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specified in
section 6.4 of EN 60079-14 (VDE 0165-1).
