Automatic electrostatic application systems for ignitable coating materials - Safety requirements

1.1 This document specifies the electrical requirements for the design of automatic electrostatic application systems for liquid coating materials which can be ignited in an atomised state, used within a temperature range from 5 °C to 40 °C. This document considers automatic electrostatic application systems for processing ignitable liquid coating materials, where the conductivity of the complete system is limited up to 50 nS/cm. Together with additional measures like e.g. potential separation systems, these requirements can also be applied to ignitable liquid coating materials, where the conductivity of the complete system is limited up to 2 000 μS/cm. Ignition hazards related to the generated explosive atmosphere and the protection of persons against electric shock are considered. 1.2 This document specifies requirements for interfaces to and additional requirements for machinery according to EN 16985:2018, prEN 12621:2020 and prEN 1953:2020. 1.3 This document also specifies requirements for a safe operation of electrostatic application systems, including the electrical installation. The requirements consider both the processing of coating materials and the cleaning and purge processes. 1.4 This document considers three types of spraying systems; see 5.1. Spraying systems are classified as equipment of group II, category 2G or category 3G. Only electrostatic spraying systems operating with a d.c. sinusoidal ripple of not more than 10 % of the r.m.s. value are considered. 1.5 For electrostatic spraying equipment used in food and pharmaceutical industry, additional requirements could apply. 1.6 This document is not applicable to: — liquid electrostatic application equipment for non ignitable liquid coating material, see EN 50348:2010 ; — electrostatic hand-held spraying equipment, see EN 50050 1:2013, EN 50050 2:2013 and EN 50050 3:2013 as well as prEN 50059:2021; — potential separation systems; — cleaning systems for spraying devices; — selection, installation and application of other electrical and non-electrical equipment in areas with explosion hazard, see EN 60079 14:2014 and EN 16985:2018; — quality assurance systems for electrostatic spraying equipment (see EN ISO/IEC 80079 34:2020, ZB.11). 1.7 This document is not applicable to equipment manufactured before the date of its publication as a European Standard.

Introduction

During the electrostatic coating process, the ignitable liquid coating material is transported to a spraying device

where it is atomised by mechanical forces and/or by the influence of an electric field. The generated spray cloud

is charged by high voltage of some 10 kV, is attracted by and is applied to the earthed workpiece.

Spray clouds which are not applied to the workpiece (overspray) are removed by a suction device or by other

means.
The coating material is cured at room temperature or by heating.

1 Scope

1.1 This document specifies the electrical requirements for the design of automatic electrostatic application

systems for liquid coating materials which can be ignited in an atomised state, used within a temperature range

from 5 °C to 40 °C.

This document considers automatic electrostatic application systems for processing ignitable liquid coating

materials, where the conductivity of the complete system is limited up to 50 nS/cm. Together with additional

measures like e.g. potential separation systems, these requirements can also be applied to ignitable liquid

coating materials, where the conductivity of the complete system is limited up to 2 000 μS/cm.

Ignition hazards related to the generated explosive atmosphere and the protection of persons against electric

shock are considered.

1.2 This document specifies requirements for interfaces to and additional requirements for machinery

according to EN 16985:2018, prEN 12621:2020 and prEN 1953:2020.

including the electrical installation. The requirements consider both the processing of coating materials and the

cleaning and purge processes.
1.4 This document considers three types of spraying systems; see 5.1.

Spraying systems are classified as equipment of group II, category 2G or category 3G.

Only electrostatic spraying systems operating with a d.c. sinusoidal ripple of not more than 10 % of the r.m.s.

value are considered.

1.5 For electrostatic spraying equipment used in food and pharmaceutical industry, additional requirements

could apply.
1.6 This document is not applicable to:

— potential separation systems;
— cleaning systems for spraying devices;

— selection, installation and application of other electrical and non-electrical equipment in areas with explosion

hazard, see EN 60079-14:2014 and EN 16985:2018;

— high-voltage switching device;
— high-voltage cable;
— high-voltage plug-and-socket connector
3.1.5
coating material supply system

system, comprising components for supplying the spraying system with coating material, like e.g:

— pressurized or depressurised containers,
— pumps,
— controllers and valves,
— ducts and hoses
3.1.6
hazardous discharge

discharge which generates the hazard of ignition of explosive mixtures or of electric shock

non-ignitable coating materials
substances, especially varnishes which cannot be ignited in sprayed state

Note 1 to entry: A formula for the estimation of ignitability on the basis of the composition of the coating material is given

in Annex F.
3.1.9
ignitable coating materials

sprayed materials, especially varnishes which can be ignited in sprayed state and react in the form of an

explosion

in Annex F.
3.1.10
explosive atmosphere

mixture of air, under atmospheric conditions, and ignitable substances in the form of gas, vapour, mist, powder

or flock, in such proportions that it can be ignited by effective ignition sources, such as excessive temperature,

arcs or sparks
Note 1 to entry: See EN 1127-1:2019.
