BAS EN 50176:2002

This European Standard specifies requirements for automatic electrostatic spraying installations which are used for spraying flammable liquids which may form explosive atmospheres in the spraying area. In this connection distinction is made between spraying devices which due to their type of construction comply with requirements as laid down in EN 50050:1986 as applicable, and those for which other discharge energies and/or current limits are stipulated. It also specifies the constructional requirements for the safe operational conditions of the electrical installations including ventilation requirements. Additional requirements as to the construction of the spraying areas such as cabins, booths, etc. are dealt with in other standards
