This Document contains safety-related requirements for spraying devices for high pressure water jet units with drives of all kinds (e.g. electric motor, internal combustion engine, air and hydraulic) in which pumps are used to generate pressure. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events arising during assembly, erection, operation and servicing relevant to spraying devices for high pressure water jet units, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. All references to spraying devices for high pressure water jet units within this document include machines for one or more of the following industrial applications: – cleaning; – surface preparation; – material removal; – readjustment of concrete; – cutting. This document applies to spraying devices for mobile and fixed high pressure water jet units, in which the water pressure is generated by a pressure generator/pump and in which the maximum allowable working pressure is more than the upper limit fixed in the scope of EN IEC 60335-2-79 (35 MPa is currently the upper limit for machines covered by EN IEC 60335-2-79). This document does not cover: – high pressure cleaners which are dealt with in EN IEC 60335-2-54; – additional hazards due to the incorporation of high pressure water jet units into other process-technology machines; – specific hazards associated with explosive atmospheres, use on ships or ambient temperatures outside the range 5 °C to 40 °C; – hazards due to the nature of liquids used for jetting, other than that due to pressure; – hazards associated with the drives or specific hazards due to any heat generation function. However, the hazards due to high temperatures of touchable surfaces are dealt with; – high pressure water jet units which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN IEC; – high pressure water jet hoses which are covered by EN IEC 63458-2. Tests according to this document are type tests unless they relate to routine (informative) tests to be carried out during series manufacture. Compliance with EN IEC 63458-1, EN IEC 63458-2 and EN IEC 63458-3 provide the full requirements for high pressure water jet machines.
This standard endorses the IEC 63458-3:2026 Ed1.0 published on 2026-03-24
