What is BS EN 61010-2-202 – Safety of electrically operated valve actuators about?
BS EN 61010-2-202 is a part of the IEC 61010 multi-series that discusses safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use.
This European standard helps its users to produce electrically operated valve actuators that meet minimum safety requirements.
BS EN 61010-2-202 should be used in conjunction with BS EN 61010-1 as it applies to electrically operated valve actuators.
Who is BS EN 61010-2-202 – Safety of electrically operated valve actuators for?
BS EN 61010-2-202 on safety requirements for electrically operated valve actuators is useful for:
- Manufacturers of valve actuators
- Quality control personnel
- Service personnel
- Testing laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 61010-2-202 – Safety of electrically operated valve actuators?
Electrically operated valve actuators can remotely control the valve’s movements. A failure or defect in these actuators can effectively compromise the distribution system and can even result in choke-ups that could build up to dangerous levels of pressure in the pipes.
Although BS EN 61010-1 provides general safety requirements for industrial-process measurement, control and automation equipment, it doesn’t cover specific requirements for certain machinery.
BS EN 61010-2-202 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in BS EN 61010-1 to be applicable for electrically operated actuators.
Overall, BS EN 61010-2-202 ensures that you meet safety requirements specific to electrically operated actuators and enables you to produce products with enhanced quality and safety.
