NEN-EN 50348:2006 Ontw. en

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for stationary automatic electrostatic spraying equipment which is used for spraying non-flammable liquids which do not form explosive atmospheres in the spraying area. This applies also for paints that are classed as non-ignitable while spraying, e.g. water based paints (see Annex A). In this connection a distinction is made between spraying devices which due to their type of construction comply with requirements of EN 50059 for personnel protection, and those for which other discharge energies and/or current limits are stipulated. It also gives information on the safe operational conditions of the electrical equipment including ventilation requirements. Additional requirements as to the construction of the spraying areas such as cabins and booths and to noise matters etc. are dealt with in EN 12215. If flammable liquid spraying and/or cleaning materials are also used in the equipment, the requirements laid down in EN 50176 for automatic electrostatic spraying equipment for flammable liquid spraying material apply; that means that the spraying areas have to be equipped accordingly.
