NOTE Annex D contains a summary of European harmonized Standard for valves. The manufacturer shall conduct a hazard analysis for the intended use and for the reasonably foreseeable conditions. It is recommended to have this hazard analysis documented. If the manufacturer identifies hazards which apply to the valve the manufacturer shall take account of his analysis by appropriate measures in order to reduce or eliminate the hazard identified. 5.1.2 Shell design strength The shell design strength shall be determined by the following: a) for steel valves designed by the tabulation method: according to EN 12516-1:2014; b) for steel valves designed by calculation: according to EN 12516-2:2014; c) for copper alloy, aluminium and cast iron valves: according to EN 12516-4:2014; d) if the shell strength resistance is validated by an experimental method: according to EN 12516-3:2002.

NOTE The valve obturator normally is no part of the shell – except if an “end of line service” is agreed between valve manufacturer and customer – in this case, !all requirements related to the European legislation for pressure equipment" apply to the obturator as well. !WARNING — Basis of design shall comply with the requirements of the European legislation for pressure equipment relative to the design for adequate strength using calculation methods validated, if necessary, by an experimental method. The use of experimental design methods without calculation is limited." 5.1.3 Protection against exceeding the allowable limits If the hazard analysis identifies the allowable limits under reasonably foreseeable conditions could be exceeded, manufacturer shall fit the valve with a suitable protective device. 5.2 Materials 5.2.1 General requirements Shell materials shall be selected in EN 12516-1:2014, EN 12516-4:2014 or EN 13445-2:2014.

The inspection documents of material shall be in accordance with EN 764-5:2014. !NOTE EAM or PMA is not required for valves classified in Article 4 (3) of the European legislation for pressure equipment." Where relevant the requirements given in EN 764–4:2014 should be considered. 5.2.2 European harmonized standards A summary of Harmonized European Material Standards for shell parts is given in Annex B. 5.2.3 European approval of materials (EAM) EAM for materials are intended for repeated use. They are established in accordance with EN 764-4:2014 and apply to materials or treatment condition and product forms or dimensions not covered in a European Harmonized Standard. Annex C contains a link to OJEU Website for European approval of materials (EAM). 5.2.4 Particular Material Appraisal (PMA) If no material according to a harmonized European material standard is available the manufacturer is obliged to perform or obtain the required particular material appraisal (PMA). !For valves in categories III or IV, a specific assessment of the PMA shall be performed by the notified body in charge of conformity assessment procedures for the valves." PMA apply also as follows: — a material or a product form or a thickness not covered by a European material Standard or EAM; — a material specified in a European material Standard or EAM for materials for pressure equipment is intended in an exceptional case for service conditions outside its specified range of application.
