2.2.5 Explosion protection
WARNING
Equipments and accessories designed without explosion
protection must not be used in workshops that come under the
explosion protection ordinance!
Whether your equipment or accessories have explosion
protection is indicated by the
symbol on the type plate and/or
on the enclosed ATEX declaration of conformity.
Explosion-protected equipments meet the explosion protection
requirements of Directive 94/9/EC for the explosion group, unit
category and temperature class specified on the type plate or in the
declaration of conformity.
The operator is responsible for determining the zone allocation
according to the Directive of EC 94/9/EC, Appendix II, no. 2.1-2.3
when observing the measures of the responsible inspecting au-
thority. The operator is responsible for checking and ensuring that
all technical data and markings according to ATEX correspond with
the necessary requirements.
Please note that several components have their own type plate
with separate marking according to ATEX. In this case the lowest
explosion protection of all attached markings applies for the entire
equipment. Applications where the malfunction of the unit can lead
to danger to personnel must be provided with respective safety
measures by the operator.
However, if agitators, heaters or other electrically accessories are
additionally mounted, one must check the explosion protection.
Plugs for heaters, agitators, etc. that do not have explosion pro-
tection, may only be plugged in outside of areas that fall under the
explosion protection ordinance, even if the accessory equipment as
such is explosion protected.

serious injury to persons and damage to property.
³
Pay attention to the flashpoint and the ignition temperature of
the solvent.
³
