BHDT high-pressure valve 1221034 (PC actuator, 10-second closing) has been independently certified by Risknowlogy in accordance with IEC 61508:2010, confirming its suitability as a final element component in safety-related shutoff applications. The certificate, number 2628.664.14-0, is dated 1 October 2026 and expires on 1 October 2031.

Valve 1221034 is used in a two-train final element assembly built with a solenoid valve and a PC actuator. On demand, the assembly closes the valve within 10 seconds, in low demand mode. Risknowlogy reviewed the PC actuator under hardware route 2H and systematic route 2S. Under certificate 2628.664.16-0, the assembly reaches SIL 1 at HFT = 0 and SIL 2 at HFT = 1. Four valves in this set share that profile: 1221032, 1221018, 1228622 and this one.

The assessment applied Risknowlogy's structured functional safety methodology, addressing hardware integrity, reliability, basic safety, functional safety management, and user documentation. It followed hardware compliance route 1H and systematic compliance route 1S. The BHDT design concept dates from 2009.

The valve is Type A hardware with systematic capability SC 2. It is fit for use up to SIL 1 in HFT = 0 and up to SIL 2 in HFT = 1, subject to correct system architecture and application constraints, in accordance with IEC 61508.

This certification covers the valve, not the safety function or system in which it is installed. End users, EPCs and system integrators remain responsible for correct design, installation, commissioning, validation, operation, proof testing and maintenance; modifications are subject to recertification.

The detailed certification basis, safety function, conditions of use, and end-user responsibilities are defined in the Risknowlogy certificate 2628.664.14-0 and the supporting certification report 2628.664.15.
