For ambient temperature conditions different from the standard stated at 7.6.1, the dew point shall be at
least 10 °C below the minimum operating ambient temperature.
It is recommended that the content of particles per cubic meter in the operating medium shall not exceed
Class 5 according to ISO 8573-1:2010, Table 1; particles up to a maximum 40 µm size are acceptable in
the operating medium provided that a right analysis of the behaviour of the ancillaries (8.1), when
mounted on the actuator, is done.

The actuator shall be designed to guarantee a minimum endurance, without maintenance, in accordance
with values given in Table 1; minimum endurance shall be demonstrated by a suitable test.
For double acting actuators the endurance test shall be performed at a load, along the complete stroke,
