No.: 968/V 1215.00/21

Product tested Pneumatic quarter turn actuator Certificate Neles USA Inc
Jamesbury Series holder 44 Bowditch Dr
Shrewsbury, MA,
01545-8044
USA

Type designation VPVL(SS) SR series single acting


VPVL(SS) DA series double acting

Codes and standards IEC 61508 Parts 1-2 and 4-7:2010

Intended application Safety Functions:


Safe position by built-in spring (SR series)
Safe position by external power supply (DA series)

The actuators are still suitable for use in a safety-related system up to SIL 2
(low demand mode). Taking into account the minimum required hardware
fault tolerance of HFT = 1, they can also be used in redundant design up to
SIL 3.

Origin of failure rates


The stated failure rates for low demand are the result of an FMEDA with tailored failure rates for the design
and manufacturing process.
Furthermore the results have been verified by field-feedback data.
Failure rates include failures that occur at a random point in time and are due to degradation mechanisms
such as ageing.
The stated failure rates do not release the end-user from collecting and evaluating application-specific
reliability data.
Periodic Tests and Maintenance
The given values require periodic tests and maintenance as described in the Safety Manual.
The operator is responsible for the consideration of specific external conditions (e.g. ensuring of required
quality of media, max. temperature, time of impact), and adequate test cycles.
