MAN-PTS-GB, Revision 9, BSC, 15-FEB-2017 7/46
In addition, the user is responsible to earth the equipment and to carry out periodic checks
ensuring the continuity of power supply.
1.4 POWDER CHARACTERISTICS
This instruction manual refers only to the operation and use of the PTS system. Specific risks related
to the powders are not part of this manual and must be treated separately. Dec takes no
responsibility in the case of accidents resulting from incorrect handling of the products to be
transferred. The production manager must point out the dangers and safety measures
concerning the powders to transfer in his own operation manual. The operators must strictly
respect the safety instructions.
1.5 INSPECTION
The PTS system is designed and inspected by the manufacturer in accordance with the
applicable national standards and the pressure equipment directive 2014/68/EU. Should a PTS
system be mounted on an installation, the certification of the entire installation is the responsibility
of the operator.
If necessary, the operator will have to inspect the installation before the first commissioning and
undertake further cyclic inspections of the equipment according to the applicable national
standards.
Any change or repair to the system carried out by a third party is subject to the prior written
permission of the manufacturer and must conform to the applicable standards, especially to the
pressure equipment directive 2014/68/EU.
1.6 RESIDUAL RISKS
Residual risks are unpredictable risks, which cannot be excluded during the operation of a pow-
der handling system, even with a safe design. These residual risks are not obvious to detect and
could be a possible source of injury or a danger to health (see European norm EN ISO 12100).
In case such a risk is present, the installation should be stopped immediately and the production
manager should be informed. He must then undertake all possible actions to definitively
eliminate this risk. If necessary, he should inform and consult the manufacturer.
