Coating plants - Spray booths for application of organic liquid coating materials - Safety requirements
This document is applicable to spray booths as well as multizone spray booths for the application of organic liquid coating materials (paints, varnishes....), and deals with all significant hazards relevant to spray booths or multizone spray booths, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4).
A spray booth is an assembly of the following linked components: forced ventilation by one or more fans; dry air filtering and/or wet air washing systems, measuring and control devices, ventilation air heating system, automatic fire extinguishing equipment, warning devices, electrical apparatus, joined together within or at a partially or totally enclosed structure (limited by walls, called space) for the controlled processing of spray application of organic liquid coating material.
NOTE Spray booths are classified in annex G.
This standard describes methods of verification of safety measures, information labels to be affixed to the spray booth and minimum usage requirements contained within the operators handbook.
This standard does not cover:
- spraying areas (spaces for application of organic liquid coating materials which are limited only by one side wall used for extraction of exhaust ventilation).

NOTE 1 Examples for classifications are given in annex G. NOTE 2 Hazards can occur from combinations of ancillary equipment (e.g. atomising and spraying equipment, paint heaters, pumps, pipes for coating materials, robots, reciprocators, conveyors, platforms) and other parts of the spray booth. 4.2 Mechanical hazards 4.2.1 Shearing, crushing and drawing-in hazards These hazards may occur especially in spray booths for automatic spraying equipment/systems, e.g. by means of: unexpected actuation of conveyor (during maintenance); fans and automated damper adjusters (e.g. injuries caused by over-running of fan blades during maintenance); moving parts of the spray booth (e.g.; doors, gates); installed automatic spraying equipment or system (e.g.; spraying reciprocator, atomising and spraying system and revolving tables for workpieces). 4.2.2 Entrapment hazard This hazard can occur, for instance: when obstacles or obstructions can impede a quick evacuation by the operator(s) from the spray booth in case of mechanical accident or fire; when there is an accidental significant lowering of pressure inside an enclosed spray booth (i.e.: obstruction of air inlet) capable: of clamping the doors by mechanical deformation of the structure of the spray booth; to increase the door opening effort beyond human capability. 4.2.3 High pressure fluid ejection hazards Such hazard can occur, for instance, in case of the failure of high pressure equipment. 4.2.4 Personnel's slip, trip and fall hazards Such hazards can occur, for instance: on gangways, platforms, ladders and stairs within the spray booth; on gratings at floor level; on ground rendered slippery from paint deposits or other substances; falling down into the working pit of the spray booth. These hazards may be increased as a result of poor lighting. SIST EN 12215:2005
EN 12215:2004 (E) 12 4.3 Electrical hazards 4.3.1 Electrical shock (by direct or indirect contact) Such hazards can occur, for instance by touching: electrically live parts that are non insulated for operational reasons; conductive parts which are not at a dangerous voltage under normal operation, but in the case of failure could be; electrically live parts when the insulation is damaged by contact with solvents or by mechanical parts. 4.3.2 External influence on electrical equipment hazard Such hazards can occur, for instance when interaction of the electrostatic high voltage equipment with construction elements of the control and safety systems can cause dangerous malfunctions for instance, short circuits on electronic safety circuits, entrance guards, alarm units. 4.4 Thermal hazards Such hazards can for instance be generated by: contact with hot surfaces; fire or explosions (see 4.7.1. and 4.7.2. specific to these hazards); hot spraying systems. 4.5 Hazards generated by noise These hazards may occur inside and outside the spray booth. They can be generated by noises emitted for instance by: fans; excessive air velocity in ducts and accessories; wet air washing systems; air operated equipment (nozzles of atomising and spraying equipment, pumps, valves, etc.). Noise hazards are only partly dealt with. They will be fully covered in a future revision of the standard. 4.6 Hazards resulting from dangerous substances 4.6.1 Hazards resulting from contact with/or absorption of organic liquid coating materials Such hazards can be generated by contact with/or absorption of organic liquid coating materials, solvents, cleaning agents causing skin and eye damage, dermatitis or allergies. 4.6.2 Hazards resulting from inhalation of organic liquid coating materials Such hazards can be generated by inhalation of aerosols and solvent vapours released by organic liquid coating materi
