– Compliance with compressed air quality conforming to the technical data, in particular avoidance of
flash rust particles (for example, caused by servicing work) as well as compliance with the residual
oil content of max. 0.1 mg/m
tained in the compressor oil)
– Compliance with the maximum operating pressure, if necessary through use of a pressure-relief
valve
