1 Scope
This document provides basic requirements for electric valve actuators, used for on-off and control valves. It
includes guidelines for classification, design, enclosure and corrosion protection, and methods for conformity
assessment.

Combinations of electric multi-turn actuators and gearboxes supplied by the actuator manufacturer are within
the scope of this document. In all other cases this European Standard applies to the electric actuator only.

It does not cover: solenoid actuators, electro-hydraulic actuators and electric actuators which are integral in
the design of valves.

Other requirements or conditions of use different from those indicated in this document should be agreed
between the purchaser and the manufacturer/supplier, prior to order.

The terms and definitions applicable to this European Standard are given in EN 15714-1.

3 Classification/Designation

3.1 General

Electric valve actuators are classified per type, duty and action as detailed below.

3.2 Type: Part-turn, multi-turn or linear

3.2.1 Part-turn: An actuator which transmits torque to the valve for less than one revolution. It does not
have to be capable of withstanding thrust. A combination of a multi-turn actuator plus a part-turn gearbox can
be considered, for the sake of this European Standard, a part-turn actuator.

3.2.2 Multi-turn actuator: An actuator which transmits torque to the valve/gearbox for at least one revolution.
It may be capable of withstanding thrust. A combination of a multi-turn actuator plus a multi-turn gearbox can
be considered, for the sake of this European Standard, a multi-turn actuator.

3.2.3 Linear actuator: An actuator which transmits thrust to the valve for a defined linear stroke. A combi-
nation of a multi-turn actuator plus a linear drive can be considered, for the sake of this European Standard, a
linear actuator.

3.3 Actuator duty classification

3.3.1 General

Basic design requirements for actuator duty classification are given in 4.1 and 4.7.2.

3.3.2 Class A: On-off

The actuator is required to drive the valve through its entire travel from the fully open position to the fully
closed position or vice-versa.

3.3.3 Class B: Inching/positioning

The actuator is required to occasionally drive the valve to any position (fully open, intermediate and fully
closed).

3.3.4 Class C: Modulating

The actuator is required to frequently drive the valve to any position between fully open and fully closed.

3.3.5 Class D: Continuous modulating

The actuator is required to continuously drive the valve to any position between fully open and fully closed.
