The requirements for environmentally friendly valves are also a recurring topic in the standardization committees in which I am a member, e.g., in the DIN specialist area of industrial valves, committee NA 003-01-01 AA Basic Standards.

In the 24 years that I have been working in the field of industrial valves, I have dealt with many new requirements for the tightness of valves. Increasing energy consumption, dwindling natural resources and the ever-stricter legal requirements, forced the industry to rethink and use emission-reducing technology. This is also the case in the field of industrial valves. The requirements for environmentally friendly valves are also a recurring topic in the standardization committees in which I am a member, e.g., in the DIN specialist area of industrial valves, committee NA 003-01-01 AA Basic Standards. We also deal with the interpretation and implementation of the new TA-Luft in the area of valves in the VDMA working group \"TA-Luft.\"","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.as-schneider.com"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
