European foreword
This document (EN 16985:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 271 “Surface
treatment equipment - safety”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 12215:2004+A1:2009, EN 12981:2005+A1:2009 and
EN 13355:2004+A1:2009.
In comparison with the previous edition the following technical modifications have been made:
a) The 3 European Standards EN 12215:2004+A1:2009, EN 12981:2005+A1:2009 and
EN 13355:2004+A1:2009 have been merged into this European standard;
b) The scope has not been changed, but the limits of a spray booth have been defined by specifying the
interfaces to ancillary machinery, to clarify the scope;
c) 4.2.2 Falling objects, has been introduced;
d) 4.2.3 Height from the ground, has been introduced;
e) 4.7 Contact with and inhalation of hazardous material, has been revised;
f) 4.7.3.3.4 Segmented spray booths, has been introduced;
g) 4.8 Fire, has been revised;
h) 4.9 Explosion, has been revised;
i) 4.10 Safety devices and control systems, has been revised;
j) 4.11 Trapping, has been introduced;
k) 4.12 Ergonomics, has been introduced;
l) 4.13 Environment in which the machinery is used, has been introduced;
m) The list of hazards has been moved to new Annex A (informative);
n) Examples of classification of hazardous zones have been moved to new Annex B (informative);
o) Calculations for explosive atmosphere have been moved to new Annex C (normative);
p) Calculation for powder filters has been introduced (Annex C.4);
q) Requirements for air flow velocity measurement have been clarified and moved to new Annex D
(normative);

r) Information on ignitability of water-based paint has been introduced in new Annex E (informative);
s) Annex F (normative) on Energy-efficiency and reduction of environmental impact has been
introduced;
t) Annex G (informative) with examples for safety related controls has been introduced;
u) Annex H (informative) on a procedure for the determination of the spray booth clearance time using
smoke has been introduced;
v) Annex I (informative) with an example for the estimation of the spray booth purge time has been
introduced;
w) Annex J (informative) with examples for ventilation of spray booths with working pits has been
introduced.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the EU Directive 2006/42/EC.
For relationship with the EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
NOTE Although a spray booth, as an integral whole, formally does not fall under the scope of the ATEX Directive
2014/34/EU, the standard is based upon a fundamental risk analysis according to this directive.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and

1 Scope
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
relevant to spray booths for the application of organic liquid and powder coating materials, when they
are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably
foreseeable misuse.
See Annex A for significant hazards.
Interfaces between spray booths and other machinery used in coating application are given in Figure 1.

The specific significant risks related to the use of this machinery with foodstuff and pharmaceutical
products are not dealt with in this standard.
The specific significant risks related to drying operation of combined spraying and drying booths are not
dealt with in this standard, but in EN 1539:2015.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
• spaces for application of organic coating material consisting only of an extraction wall;
• platforms attached to spray booths (e.g. for touch-up jobs);
• flock booths (see EN 50223:2015);
• spray booths with airflow from vertical inlet to horizontal extraction or from horizontal inlet to
vertical extraction.
This European Standard is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication
as European Standard.
