S-AGR08-Egb02 05/15 - 3 Page 3 of 102 Safety RegulationsParagraph 0, Point 01 of EN 50176:2009 is applicable to the fields of application of the apparatus.This Standard also defines the design requirements for safe operation of the apparatus and theelectrical installation, including the forced ventilation.The constructional requirements for the spray booth, defined in Standard EN 12215:2005, are alsoapplicable. This applies particularly to the identification of explosion hazardous areas.This stipulates that the apparatus may only be used in areas where forced ventilation ensures thatduring• the application of flammable liquid coating materials, the average concentration of solventsin the form of flammable vapour remains below 50% of the lower explosion limit (LEL) (EN50176:2009, Para. 5.2).Pursuant to EN 50176:2009, Para. 5.1.2/5.1.3, the apparatus is classified as a spraying systemtype C-L or D-L when operated with electrostatic application equipment. This depends on the typeof installation and the local conditions.In accordance with Para. 5.2.8 of EN 50176:2009, type C-L or D-L spraying systems must be fittedwith a locally applied extinguishing system which may also be operated manually.Section 5.2 of EN 50176:2009 must be observed. The requirements under 5.3 of EN 50176:2009must be observed, in addition, if the apparatus is used as a 2G apparatus.2.3 Electrostatic automatic spray gunThis electrostatic automatic spray gun meets the requirements of EN 50176:2009 – Stationaryelectrostatic application equipment for ignitable liquid coating material – Safety requirements.This Operating Manual deals only with the dangers typically associated with the automatic coat-ing process when electrostatic spray guns in the described form are used under the conditions asspecified by the manufacturer.These electrostatic spray guns are classified as Group II, Category 2 equipment pursuant to Di-rective 94/9/EC, intended for use in explosive atmospheres generated by their own spray cloud.Equipment in this category is intended for use in areas where an explosive atmosphere comprisingof gases, vapours, mist or dust/air mixtures may on occasion be expected.
