Actuator Flurry

There’s been a recent flurry of activity in Actuator standardisation, resulting in two meetings of the BVAA Actuator Working Group, which holds combined meetings with BSI counterparts, PSE/18/5.

In late July the WG met at BVAA’s old HQ to discuss a number of issues but primarily focussed on the two Actuator mounting standards ISO 5210 and 5211, both of which are now moving into a drafting phase once again. In October the combined working groups met again at the new BVAA HQ to complete their work and undertake a briefing, in readiness for a meeting of ISO WG concerned with re-writing the standards.

Further imminent work will be a review of the EN 15714 series of European actuator standards, to establish the extent of perceived overlap / discrepancy with ISO 12490 ‘Mechanical integrity and sizing of actuators and mounting kits for pipeline valves.’

CEN/TC69/WG1/SG10 ‘Actuators’ will now be reactivated to deal with the issue and several BVAA/UK experts have been nominated to participate.

If these standards significantly affect you – and that will include many members – we strongly suggest attending future meetings of the WG
