7. Further rules and regulations for hazard-free operation of airless devices
Accident prevention regulations of trade associations
The relevant accident-prevention regulations apply within the Federal Republic of Germany to operation of airless
devices, in particular:
Electrical plant and equipment BGV A2, hitherto VGB 4
- Working with fluid spray systems BGV D15, hitherto VBG 87
As an operator of airless devices, you are obliged to observe the instructions and obligations of these directives. This
applies especially to implementing regular inspections and checks, as a rule once annually, for which you are responsible.
These and other accident-prevention directives can be obtained from your trade association responsible.
Operators of airless devices in other countries outside Germany are required to apply and observe the relevant conditions
for operation of airless devices that apply in these countries.
CHLORINATED SOLVENTS:
- Carbon tetrachloride
- Chloroform
- Ethylene dichloride
-
METHYLENE CHLORIDE or DICHLORMETHANE
- Monochlorobenzene
- Orthodichlorobenzene
- Perchloroethylene
-
TRICHLORETHANE
- Trichlorethylene
- Benzyl chloride
Ask your materials supplier whether your solvent or
coating material contains halogenated hydrocarbons.
