11.If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, then it is the
responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely
affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
–
Aggressive substances: for example, acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals, or
solvents that may affect polymeric materials.
–
Suitable precautions: for example, establishing from the material’s data sheet that it is
resistant to specific chemicals.
