8.2 Information about Blast Proofing

Manufacturers of explosion-protected systems, devices and components and installers and
operators of systems are together responsible for fulfilling the prerequisites for safe operation
of systems in potentially explosive areas. It is important that the operator should ensure that
their employees know how the danger of explosions is likely to arise and the measures that
are taken to avert it.
Employees should receive regular training and written instructions regarding the content of
the blast proofing document in accordance with Directive 1999/92/EC (implemented in the
Federal Republic of Germany as the Betriebssicherheitsverordnung BetrSichV) and the ap-
plicable operational regulations. Regular checks of these measures must also be carried out.

equipment
Hazards which occur during the handling of flammable gases, steams and dusts are based
on uniform chemical and physical processes. Therefore, the prevention of these hazards
must also always be uniform.
Almost entirely uniform requirements have now been formulated by the International Electro-
technical Commission (IEC), the European standardization committees CENELEC and CEN
as well as DKE and DIN.
Compliance by manufacturers and operators is required and, in cases of increased protec-
tion requirements, monitored by approved testing organizations and authorities.
