Notes On Possible Severe Personal Injury - Samson 44-2 Mounting And Operating Instructions

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, the operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable
health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.
Referenced standards 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 10.3).
According to the ignition risk assessment performed in accordance with EN 13463-1:2009,
section 5.2, 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 Di-
rective 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 Part 1).

1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury

DANGER

lator components bursting.
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
concerned.
Î Drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned as well as the reg-
ulator.
Î Wear personal protective equipment.
