    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines specific safety requirements and hazards to be provided by the manufacturer for hot dip industrial batch and the bath of continuous galvanizing thermoprocessing equipment, when it is used as an integrated part of a plant, or an independent unit. Not applicable to the risks arising from any component handling equipment for the dip process or any associated protective measures. Does not cover storage, handling, disposal, transport, transfer or regeneration of the zinc and processed material that is not within the limits of the equipment. Covers the safety of personnel during normal operation and abnormal operation, and also when foreseeable faults occur.
