Overview - EN IEC 61010-2-202:2021 (Valve Actuators)

EN IEC 61010-2-202:2021 (aligned with IEC 61010-2-202:2020) is the Part 2-202 safety standard for electrically operated valve actuators and solenoids used in measurement, control and laboratory environments. It is a particular-requirements document to be used in conjunction with the general safety requirements of IEC 61010-1. The standard defines safety-related requirements, tests and documentation for electrical valve actuators but explicitly does not cover functional safety aspects.

Key topics and technical requirements

This standard focuses on practical, testable safety measures. Major topics include:

• Scope and terminology - definitions specific to electrically operated valve actuators and their intended applications.
• Tests - mechanical, electrical and environmental tests to verify compliance (see standard for test details).
• Marking and documentation - identification, user instructions and conformity statements required for safe installation and use. The second edition adds stricter identification and user documentation requirements.
• Protection against electric shock - construction and insulation requirements to protect users and service personnel.
• Mechanical hazards & resistance - protection against crushing, trapping, overload, and mechanical stress.
• Fire and temperature - resistance to fire spread, temperature limits, and heat-resistance testing.
• Ingress and fluids - protection against liquids, dust and foreign solids relevant to valve environments.
• Radiation and acoustic effects - safeguards for laser, sonic and ultrasonic hazards where applicable.
• Hazardous gases and substances - control of liberated substances, explosion/implosion risks.
• Components, interlocks and application hazards - requirements for subassemblies, safety interlocks and hazard mitigation during normal and abnormal operation.
• Risk assessment - requirement to carry out documented risk assessments and to apply mitigation measures.
• Annexes and normative references - test methods, relationship with directives (e.g., Low Voltage Directive) and bibliographic references.

Notable updates in this edition: clarified scope relative to other IEC standards, added identification/user documentation requirements, specified high-voltage dielectric tester accuracy, and clarified mechanical test conformity statements.

Practical applications - who uses this standard

• Manufacturers of electrically operated valve actuators and solenoids (design, production, quality).
• Compliance and safety engineers preparing technical files and declarations of conformity.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies verifying equipment against EN IEC requirements.
• Plant and process engineers specifying safe actuators for chemical, laboratory and industrial process control.
• Purchasing and regulatory teams seeking standards-based assurance for equipment used in measurement, control and laboratory settings.

Related standards

• IEC 61010-1 - General safety requirements (use in conjunction).
• IEC 60730 series (automatic electrical controls) - referenced/harmonized in the standard (see Annex ZA/Z Z notes).
• Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) - Annex ZZ maps standard clauses to Directive safety objectives.

For product design, procurement or conformity assessment involving electrically operated valve actuators, EN IEC 61010-2-202:2021 is the authoritative safety reference to ensure equipment is tested, documented and marked for safe use.

covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request relating to
harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of
that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

Part 2-202: Particular requirements
for electrically operated valve actuators

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uni
