- Scope
- This European Standard applies to the design and construction of spraying equipment for both manual and automatic application of liquid, paste (semi-solid) and powder coating materials. The manual equipment is hand-held and the automatic equipment is operated by auxiliary signals and mounted either rigidly or onto automated devices such as robots or reciprocating or rotary machines. The coating material may be atomized by air, hydromechanically (airless) with or without air assistance, or mechanically by centrifugal force. With atomization by centrifugal force, the atomized coating material may be assisted towards the workpiece by controlled air veils. The atomizing and spraying equipment may also be electrostatically supported. This standard specifically refers to hazards created by or resulting from the use of atomizing and spraying equipment, if it is used as determined and in accordance with the foreseeable conditions of the manufacturer (see clause 4). Atomizing and spraying equipment may be linked with supply systems, control circuits, spray booths and/or automated machinery, none of which are covered by the scope of this standard. This may result in the overlapping of some hazards or risks. Such hazards or risks should be taken into consideration when specifying and installing atomizing and spraying equipment. Further topics for this standard are minimum user information: —operation manuals; —marking. This standard excludes: —flocking machines; —equipment related to the atomizing and spraying of foodstuffs and Pharmaceuticals; —artists airbrushes; —machinery for the supply and/or circulation of coating materials under pressure; —automated devices such as robots, reciprocating or rotary machines. This standard applies to equipment constructed after the date of issue of this standard.
