ÖNORM EN 746-4

This part of EN 746 gives the specific hazards and safety requirements that shall be provided by the manufacturer for Hot Dip Industrial Batch and the Bath of Continuous Galvanising Thermoprocessing Equipment, whether it is used as an independent unit or an integrated part of a plant. This part of EN 746 does not deal with the risks arising from any component handling equipment for the dip process or for the associated protective measures. This part of EN 746 does not cover the handling, storage, transport, disposal, transfer or regeneration of the zinc and the processed material outside the limits of the equipment. This part of EN 746 applies not only to the normal operation of the equipment but also to the safety of personnel and property in the event of abnormal operation and when foreseeable faults occur. Examples of hot dip galvanising equipment are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. NOTE: There are many variations in the design of galvanising equipment. Only two examples of the various types are given in this text.
