Scope

This document specifies requirements against all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to booths for the application of coating material, when they are used as intended, including reasonably foreseeable misuse.See Annex A for significant hazards.This document also specifies recommendations for minimizing environmental impact of booths for the application of coating material.See Annex F for recommendations for minimizing environmental impact and energy usage.Interfaces between booths and other machinery used in application of coating material are given in Figure 1.KeyBooth 1 water output connector 2 connector to electric power supply 3 water input connector 4 connector to pressurized air supply 5 interface of control system 6 fresh air supply 7 connector to exhaust air treatment system 8 connector to RPD air supply 9 booth cleaning system connector 10 connection to external fire extinguishing system 11 connection to lifting deviceFigure 1 — Interfaces of a booth to ancillary machineryThe specific significant risks related to the use of this machinery with foodstuff and pharmaceutical products are not dealt with in this document.The specific significant risks related to drying operation of combined booths for application and drying of coating material are not dealt with in this document, but in EN 1539:2015.This document is not applicable to:— spaces for application of coating material consisting only of an extraction wall;— platforms attached to booths (e.g. for touch-up jobs);— booths for application of flock (see EN 50223:2015);— airflow requirements for booths with airflow from horizontal inlet to vertical extraction.This document is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication as European Standard.
