Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Specify port size, operating pressure range (typically 2-10 bar), and air-only certification to distinguish from hydraulic

β€’ Provide pneumatic system diagrams showing transmission use to prevent classification as engine valves

β€’ Ensure CE marking for pressure equipment directive compliance in target markets
