2.7.3 Flammable or Explosive Substances
The use or production of flammable or explosive substances is not
covered under “intended use” of the equipment, as the equipment

If the provider intends to use the equipment for such purposes, he
must check its suitability for the planned application with the re-
sponsible local authorities.
2.7.4 Corrosive or Toxic Substances
The use or production of corrosive or toxic substances entails a
