  Description:

Machinery for supply and circulation of liquid coating materials - Safety requirements

  Purpose

This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events which are relevant to machinery for supply and circulation of liquid coating material, when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse. See Annex A for significant hazards. Together with this document, EN 50050 1:2013, EN 50059:2025, EN 50176:2025 or EN 50348:2010 give requirements for electrostatic machinery for supply and circulation of liquid coating material. The specific significant risks related to the use of machinery for supply and circulation of liquid coating material with foodstuffs and pharmaceutical products are not dealt with in this document. Interfaces to connected machinery and systems are given in Figure 1, to specify the limit of the machinery for supply and circulation of liquid coating material. [Figure 1] Figure 1 - Limits of the machinery This document does not apply to: -  pressure related hazards of equipment classified as higher than category 1 of Directive 2014/68/EU Article 13; NOTE 1  For equipment of higher category than category 1 of Directive 2014/68/EU, see EN 13445 (all parts) and EN 13480 (all parts). -  machinery for the supply of powder coating material; -  machinery for coating material recycling; -  hand-held agitators; -  agitators of more than 3 kW electrical power supply; -  offline heating systems; -  supply systems for CO2 shot-blasting machinery; -  equipment used for manufacturing of coating material; -  coating material packaging units (drums, containers, etc.). This document is not applicable to machinery for supply and circulation of liquid coating material manufactured before the date of its publication.
