Notes On Possible Severe Personal Injury - Samson 44-7 Mounting And Operating Instructions

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 specified 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. Regulators with a CE marking have an EU declaration of conformity, which
includes information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This EU declaration
of conformity is included in the annex of these instructions (see section 11.3).
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
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 specified in
Clause 6.4 of EN 60079-14 (VDE 0165-1).

1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury

DANGER
!
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
Regulators and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to regu-
lator components bursting.
Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for regulator and plant.
Î If necessary, a suitable overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plant
section.
Î Before starting any work on the regulator, depressurize all plant sections affected.
Î Drain the process medium from all the plant sections affected as well as the regula-
tor.
Î Wear personal protective equipment.
