FMEDA ratings for GEMÜ products

As part of regular internal product and process reviews, it was determined that the previous presentation of SIL certification in the operating instructions for the following GEMÜ products could lead to misunderstandings.

Butterfly valves GEMÜ R470 and R480 Victoria

Pilot valves GEMÜ 322, 324 and 326

Globe valves GEMÜ 514, 530, 534, 550 and 554

Diaphragm valves GEMÜ 605, 625 and 687

A FMEDA rating was carried out for these products. This is not equivalent to full SIL certification. Accordingly, no SIL certificates are available for these products.

The FMEDA ratings carried out, which also include an architecture analysis of possible faults and their effects on functional safety, are decisive for the functional safety of the products and remain valid.
