1.1This European Standard specifies the requirements for stationary electrostatic application equipment for non-ignitable liquid coating materials which do not generate an explosive atmosphere inside the spraying area. A distinction is made between spraying systems corresponding to EN 50050 and spraying systems designed for higher discharge energies and/or currents.This European Standard also specifies the design-related requirements for a safe operation of the stationary equipment, including its electrical installations. 1.2This European Standard considers two types of electrostatic spraying systems, see 5.1 for more details.1.3Noise has not been dealt with in this standard as it is not considered to be a significant hazard of stationary electrostatic application equipment for non-ignitable liquid coating material. For any other health protection, see EN 12215:2004, 5.5. For fire prevention and protection (e. g. fire hazards due to other sources), see also EN 12215:2004, 5.7.1.This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, which are relevant for stationary electrostatic application equipment for non-ignitable liquid coating and cleaning materials which do not generate an explosive atmosphere inside the spraying area, provided they are used as intended by the manufacturer.
