This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 30 April 2004 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 764-6:2004) has been prepared by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 54 “Unfired
pressure vessels”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document EN 764 "Pressure equipment" consists of seven parts which are:
 Part 1: Terminology — Pressure, temperature, volume, nominal size
 Part 2: Terminology — Quantities, symbols and units
 Part 3: Terminology — Definition of parties involved
 Part 4: Establishment of technical delivery conditions for metallic materials
 Part 5: Inspection documentation of metallic materials and compliance with the material specification
 TS Part 6: Structure and content of operating instructions
 Part 7: Safety systems for unfired pressure equipment
It is intended that CEN/TC 54 amends this document as a Type 1 European Standard EN 764 Part 6 in a Joint
Working Group together with CEN/TC 267 "Industrial piping and pipelines" and CEN/TC 269 "Shell and water
tube boilers" (Resolution CEN/TC 54 no. 2003/427).
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Lux-
embourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and
United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This part six of this document identifies the requirements for operating instructions which accompany the
pressure equipment when it is placed on the market. Operating instructions shall contain the necessary safety
information covering installation including assembling, putting into service and maintenance.
2 General
The manufacturer shall identify and analyse all known and foreseeable hazards in the intended use and
clearly foreseeable misuse which could occur in mounting, putting into service, use, maintenance and in ser-
vice inspections by the user of the pressure equipment.
The possible hazards which could not be eliminated in the design of the product or by secondary safety
devices are treated in Clause 3 of this document. These are residual hazards which can occur when a vessel
is installed and used or operated under foreseeable conditions. Where appropriate, residual hazards shall be
covered under the operating instructions given by the manufacturer.
Operating instructions shall cover information marked on the pressure equipment and where appropriate, be
supported by technical documents, drawings and diagrams for a full understanding of these operating instruc-
tions.
3 Hazard analysis
3.1 General
The hazard analysis shall enable the manufacturer to identify and to determine the potential modes of failure
due to loading of pressure equipment which could occur when this equipment is installed and used in reason-
able foreseeable conditions.
Given below in 3.2 and 3.3 are hazards or combinations of hazards which need to be considered for operat-
ing instructions. This list is not intended to be fully comprehensive but illustrative of the scope of information
which needs to be taken into account.
