Scope

This European Standard gives requirements for the selection, installation and safe use of hand-held electrostatic spray guns with an energy limit of 0,24 mJ and their associated apparatus complying with EN 50 050, which may cause an explosive atmosphere when spraying flammable liquid. This European Standard considers only the hazards that are specific to the electrostatic characteristics of the electrostatic spraying process. For other aspects such as classification of hazardous areas (e.g. classification into zones), selection, installation and use of electrical equipment in hazardous areas, health hazards (e.g. toxic and skin effects, electric shock), cleaning of paint spraying areas, fire hazard from external sources, storage and handling of flammable liquids, national regulations apply
