2.6 Verification of operational safety
The pressure tank of the compressor is submitted to inspec-
tion. The manufacturer submitted the pressure tank to an in-
spection according to the EC Directive 2014/29 EG in conjunc-
tion with the EC type examination according to article 10 as
well as according to EN286-1. A copy of this type examination
certification and/or declaration of conformity is included in the
scope of delivery of every compressor.
The operating company must have re-inspected the individual
components to be inspected by an expert or by a „qualified
person“ in the perscribed intervals. The operating regulations
for this may differ in the individual EC countries.

Inspection periods
The given inspeciton periods are maximum values. They
should be verified by the risk assessment/valuation of em-
ployer of the operating company. No delays are admissible for
this. It is only possible to shorten the period.
The product of pressure and volume depends on the inspec-
tion periods. For this, the maximum admissible pressure (PS)
must be multiplied with the pressure tank volume (V).
Example:
Pressure tank= 50l ; max. zulässiger Druck= 10 bar
50 l x 10 bar = 500
*The employer must communicate the relevant inspection peri-
ods to the responsible authority within 6 month after commis-
sioning the installation(par. 15 BetrSichV).
**External tests can be omitted: a) for pressure tanks accor-
ding to point 2.2 (letter a)BetrSichV, unless they are fire-hea-
ted, heated exhaust gas or electrically heated, and
b) in the case of simple pressure tanks according to BetrSichV
point 2.2 letter d. The deadline of the strength test may be ex-
tended to 15 years If it is shown in the external or internal test
that the machine can be safely operated. The confirmation
must be shown in the documentation of the risk assessment.

Regulations for compressed air tanks in Austria
Pressure devices as of 0,5 bar are submitted to the „Vessel
Law“ pressure devices monitoring directive (DGÜW-V) in Aus-
tria.
This directive makes a differentiation between low hazard po-
tential (NGP) and high hazard potential (HGP) .
NGP: Overall compressed air product (pxV) below 3000 litres
HGP: Overall compressed air product (pxV) above 3000 litres
NGP (Low risk potential)
For the devices that fall into the NGP, the operator has no obli-
gation to inform boiler test centers. If a customer buys a device
with NGP, he / she does NOT have to register this for the first in-
spection by a boiler testing center (TÜV Austria Services
GmbH).
HGP (low hazard potential)
The operating company is not obligated to inform vessel in-
spection authorities for devices classified as NGP.
For devices that fall into the HGP you need a first operation test
from a boiler testing center (TÜV Austria Services GmbH).
With the declaration of conformity and the operating instructi-
ons, the tank must be reported to the boiler testing center.

They carry out the service test. und stellen,if everything is ok, fill
in a book.The container is then subjected to periodic inspecti-
ons (eg test level 4, minor damage: every 2 years external ex-
amination, every 6 years an internal examination and every 12
years main examination)
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY
- Never direct compressed air to persons or animals.
- Grab the end of the compressed air hose with your
hand before opening the quick coupling in order to
prevent the tool from flying off by pressure.
- Allow the compressor to cool down prior to main-
tenance work.
