Supplier and customer: who is responsible for what?
When engineering a dust extraction installation for explosive dust, who is responsible for which information? What input is expected from the end user, and what is the manufacturer supposed to deliver to his customer?
Based on a number of practice examples, this presentation examines the basic data needed to prepare a risk assessment and how appropriate protective measures are chosen. Finally, it explains the purpo...
