4.9.2 Enclosure protection
The non pressurised enclosure of the actuator shall be at least IP 54 according to EN 60529 (excluding the
exhaust port).
4.9.3 Corrosion protection
The actuator corrosion protection shall meet at least the following corrosion type tests:
Salt spray test (NSS): according to ISO 9227 (12/91): minimum duration of the exposure shall be
96 hours.
Corrosion rates shall be evaluated according to EN ISO 4628 (1982).The minimum rate shall be:
Rusting (R ) ≤ 1
i
Blistering ≤ 2 (S2)
The test shall be carried out on the assembled actuator. Pressure connections and venting orifices shall be
sealed.
Test conditions for other particular environments (e.g. sulphur dioxide test according to EN ISO 3231) shall be
subject to an agreement between the manufacturer/supplier and the purchaser.
4.10 Basic design
4.10.1 Safety requirements
Actuators shall be designed taking into account the technical principles and specifications for safety of
machinery given in EN 292 Parts 1 and 2. The design of spring return actuators shall permit the safe assem-
bly/disassembly, when complying with the manufacturer/supplier’s instructions.
4.10.2 Part-turn valve actuator attachment
The valve attachment for part-turn actuators shall comply with EN ISO 5211: Industrial valves — Part-Turn
Actuator Attachments.
The output drive of part-turn actuators may be an integral part or a removable component.
The material of the drive component shall be clearly indicated in the supplier’s literature.
4.10.3 Pressure connections
The actuators shall normally have two pressure connections.
The position, location, orientation and form of the pressure connections shall be established by the manufac-
turer.
Connections shall be clearly identified with numbers (2 and 4), in accordance with ISO 5599-2.
