Updated environmental standards 2021: Get TA Luft-certified DIN and ANSI valves and gate valves up to PN40 / class300 now

In view of the growing global challenges in the area of environmental protection and air pollution control, it is essential for companies to adapt their industrial plants to current environmental regulations. In Germany, the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA Luft) play a key role. With the revision in 2021, new standards were introduced that particularly affect shut-off valves and gate valves.

In this blog article, we look at the impact of the new regulations on industry, explain which sectors are particularly affected and provide an overview of the applicable deadlines. In this way, you can ensure that your company is optimally prepared for the updated TA Luft..

Explaining the Importance of the TA Luft Certificate

A TA Luft certificate is crucial proof that valves meet the strict requirements for emission reduction. This is not only important for compliance with legal requirements, but also contributes to the more sustainable design of industrial plants. The changes in the regulation affect various industries, with specific transition periods giving companies a certain amount of time to implement them.

Affected Industries and Deadlines

Since 2021, the TA Luft certificate has been indispensable for many industrial applications, such as chemicals, petrochemicals, tank farms and sewage treatment plants. It aims to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality. Shut-off valves and gate valves in these areas must be certified accordingly.

There is a transitional period until December 2025 for existing systems, but replacement valves must already be TA Luft-compliant now. If you have any questions about implementation, we will be happy to support you – contact us!

Advantages of TA Luft-Certified Globe and Gate Valves:

They therefore make a significant contribution to air pollution control and actively help to reduce environmental pollution. Companies that use these products consciously support the improvement of air quality and the protection of the environment.

  • Legal Compliance: The TA Luft certificate is an essential feature to ensure that industrial plants comply with legal requirements. It protects operators from possible legal consequences and ensures sustainable and legally compliant operations. With certified valves, companies can be sure that they meet all the regulatory requirements of TA Luft 2021.

  • Guaranteed Quality: Certified shut-off valves and gate valves are subject to strict quality tests and test procedures. These not only guarantee the durability and reliability of the products, but also ensure the trouble-free and safe operation of industrial plants.
