Where lifting points are fitted to actuators they shall be suitable for their intended purpose. They shall be
designed to have a calculated minimum factor of safety of 4 on ultimate breaking load in relation to their
intended load carrying capacity. They shall be clearly and permanently marked with their load carrying

This can be by means of
internal valves

leakages are recognised in good time and hazards from inadequate strata control as a result of a
pressure drop in the legs are avoided.
As a result of the type of fluid used and the small number of pressure cycles per day, actuators of
hydraulic powered roof supports need neither to be self-bleeding nor shall they have external air bleeds.
In addition, internal valves, excluding constant yield valves, are covered by prEN 1804-3 of the standard.

forces and the movements of attached components, see annex A (see 5.3.1 of EN 1804-1:2001).
5.6 Behaviour under axial overload
Legs and support rams, including their mechanical extensions, shall be designed so that their function is

pressure. (See annex A)
Where dynamic load testing is not practicable legs and support rams shall be subjected statically to 2
times the rated compressive or tensile force.
Rams, including their mechanical extension pieces, shall be designed so that their function is not affected

Extension limits of legs and support rams shall withstand a pressure of at least 80 % of the maximum
permissible working pressure without damage when the fully extended piston is loaded 100 times with
this pressure. If the design of the hydraulic circuitry of the support unit is such that it is possible
operationally to generate pressures higher than 80 % of the maximum permissible working pressure, legs
and support rams shall remain undamaged at these higher pressures and under the above mentioned
conditions.
Rams shall withstand 1,5 times the maximum permissible working pressure when the piston is in fully
extended in contact with the internal stop.
