7.2 Statement of Compliance With Applicable European Directives
We, Flowserve Limitorque, 5114 Woodall Road, Lynchburg, VA, USA 24502, as the manufacturer of the equipment
listed below:
MX-05, 10, 20, 40, 85, 140 and 150 electronic valve actuator. The MX is a non-intrusive
electronic actuator. It is specifically designed for the purpose of being mounted to multi-turn
valves (or other apparatus) in order to move the valve from fully closed to fully open.
Confirm, in accordance with the requirements of clause 1.2.7 of the Essential Health and Safety Requirements
of Community Directive 94/9/EC on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres that the above equipment has been designed and manufactured to:
a) Avoid physical injury or other harm which may be caused by direct or indirect contact;
b) Assure that the surface temperature of accessible parts or radiation which cause a danger, are not produced;
c) Eliminate non-electric dangers which are revealed by experience;
d) Assure that foreseeable conditions of overload shall not give rise to dangerous situations.
And where these risks are wholly or partly covered by other Community Directives, the equipment satisfies the
requirements of those specific Directives.
And that literature describing the equipment will not contradict the instructions with regard to safety aspects.
