SR EN 50053-3:1997

Requirements for the selection, installation and use of electrostatic spraying equipment for flammable materials. Part 3: Hand-held electrostatic flock spray guns with an energy limit of 0,24 mJ or 5 mJ and their associated apparatus

This European Standard gives requirements for the selection, installation and safe use of hand-held electrostatic flock spray-guns and their associated apparatus complying with EN 50 050 for the following cases when: flock spraying in association with adhesives which can form an explosive atmosphere, then the energy limit of the spray gun shall be 0.24 mJ; flock spraying in association with adhesives which do not form an explosive atmosphere, then the energy limit of the spray gun shall be 0.5 mJ. This European Standard considers only the hazards that are specific to the electrostatic characteristics of the electrostatic spraying process. For other aspects such as classification of hazardous areas (e.g. classification into zones), selection, installation and use of electrical equipment in hazardous areas, health hazards (e.g. toxic and skin effects, electric shock), cleaning of flock spraying areas, fire hazard from external sources, storage and handling of flammable materials, explosion protection systems, national regulations apply. Note: applications of flock spray guns use
