scope:

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 coating material may be applied by air, by airless, by airless with the assistance of air or mechanically by centrifugal force. The atomising and spraying equipment may also be electrostatically supported. This standard specifically refers to hazards created by or resulting from the use of atomising and spraying equipment. Atomising and spraying equipment may be linked with supply systems, control circuits, spray booths and/or automated machinery. This may result in the overlapping of some hazards or risks. Such hazards or risks should be taken into consideration when specifying and installing the atomising and spraying equipment. Further topics for this standard are minimum user information: - Operation manual, - Marking.
