scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for automatic electrostatic flock application equipment which is used for applying ignitable flock which may form explosive atmospheres in the flock application area. In this connection a distinction is made between flock application devices which due to their type of construction comply with requirements as laid down in EN 50050:2001 as applicable, and those for which higher discharge energies are stipulated. This European Standard also specifies the constructional requirements for a safe operation of the stationary equipment of flock application booth, including the electrical installations. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to flock application booths, when they are used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
