The following items and applications are not covered by this European Standard: — the supply of electricity up to the switch box; — use of the machine in potentially explosive atmospheres; — use of the machine under hyperbaric conditions; — loading and transport equipment which is not an integral part of the machine. This European Standard covers incorporation of monitoring devices for hazardous atmospheres. This European Standard is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN. NOTE 2 Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this European Standard. The present standard is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 94/9/EC.
