1.1 Name plate, CE and body
markings
The stainless steel name plate is undetachably riveted 
to the body. 
If the operator attaches his identification, it must be 
ensured that the valve matches the application in 
question. 
 
Example of name plate with CE marking:
No CE marking is permissible for the sizes 15, 20 and 
25; the name plate therefore has no CE marking. 
 
Example: Name plate for control data 
If heavy-duty bellows are installed, another name 
plate indicates this: 
HD - BVA = Heavy-duty bellows with support rings 
of stainless steel
HD - BKo = Heavy-duty bellows with support rings
of PTFE/carbon
Body identification:
The following are visible on the body according to DIN 
EN 19 and AD 2000 A4: 
Nominal size 
Rated pressure 
Body material 
Manufacturer's identification 
Melt number/Foundry identification 
Cast date 
Arrow for direction of flow
