Compressors and vacuum pumps - Safety requirements - Part 1: Air compressors

  Purpose

This part of EN 1012 is applicable to compressors and compressor units having an operating pressure greater than 0,5 bar and designed to compress air, nitrogen or inert gases. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the design, installation, operation, maintenance, dismantling and disposal of compressors and compressor units, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This part of EN 1012 includes under the general term compressor units those machines which comprise: - the compressor; - a drive system; - any component or device which is necessary for operation. This part also covers the general requirements relating to process gas compressors; for specific requirements see prEN 1012-3 which applies.
