Risk of explosion due to electrostatic discharge

Risk of explosion due to electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge poses a potential ignition source. Dangerous electrostatic charging can
occur, for example as a result of mechanical friction, flowing air that contains particles,
processes that generate significant levels of charge – or persons that are not appropriately
grounded, e.g. when carrying out maintenance or cleaning work.
In an explosive atmosphere, there is a risk of an explosion. This can result in death, serious
injury or material damage.
• When cleaning, ensure that there is absolutely no explosive atmosphere present.
• Comply with ESD protective measures.
• Avoid carrying out work specified above on non-metallic parts, e.g. foam rubber for noise
dampeners/attenuators.
• Use the tested, original paint when recoating or touching up.
• Carefully check repaired or subsequently applied coating systems to ensure that they strictly
comply with the electrostatic requirements according to IEC/EN 60079-0.
• Do not subsequently attach any additional plates or labels to the machine that do not comply
with the electrostatic requirements relating to protection against explosion.
• Clean the plastic parts and components so that absolutely no static charging occurs.
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning.
• Minimize the risk of electrostatic charging by applying effective measures according to IEC
60079-32-1.
