New responsibilities for manufacturers and users

 

Since the new 94/9/EC directive went info effect, manufacturers of explosion-protected devices and the users of these devices have assumed new responsibilities.

 

As a pump manufacturer, ALLWEILER provides you with all the information you will need to operate our pumps in a potentially explosive environment. This includes information about start-up, safe pump operation, maintenance and rapid removal of faults.

 

As a responsible operator, it is essential that you install, operate and maintain the pump in accordance with the operating instructions.

In addition, the 1999/92/EC directive on minimum guidelines for improving health protection and the safety of workers who could be endangered by potentially explosive atmospheres (fifteenth individual directive in terms of article 16 paragraph 1 of the directive 89/391/EWC) is also relevant for the operator.
