Part 1: General sequirements;
Part 2: Isolating valves;
Part 3: Check vaives;
Part: Air valves;
Part §: Control valves;
Part 6: Hydrants.
Part 1, in conjunction with the subsequent parts, lays down the general requiremants and test pracedures to
be carriad out in production and during the assessment of conformity of these valves (type tests). The
detailed requiremants, which depend on the types of valves, are definad in parts 2 to 6 ofthis standard
‘This European Standard shall be given the status of a nations! standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the Iatast by July 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at

assessment method for control valves, whatever thair type and matals.
This standard apy

adjusting the position of the obturator
thay can be directly opsrated io the force is applied (via @ epring or diaphragm) diractly tothe obturator
‘they can be pilot operated i.e. the force is appliad through an adjustable pilot valve
342
non-autonomous control valve
these valves require an extemally powered contral system in order to regulsta the specified function
