"Safety Regulations for Coating Operations - Safety of Painting Process and Ventilation" (GB6514-2023) is an important standard for my country's coatings industry, which aims to regulate the safety requirements of pre-treatment and coating processes in coating operations, and puts forward detailed provisions for the design and management of ventilation systems.
This revision integrates the relevant contents of GB6514-2008 and GB7692-2012, adds individual term definitions (such as "individual ventilation" and "circulating air"), and deletes some outdated technical parameters. At the same time, it supplements emerging technologies such as mixed air spraying process and paint room ventilation.
| Chapter content | GB6514—2008 | GB7692—2012 | GB6514—2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| General requirements | Includes basic safety regulations | Does not involve coating process | Adds definitions of individual ventilation and circulating air |
| Pretreatment process | Covering paint stripping, rust removal, etc. | Only involves coating process | Integrates and optimizes the contents of the two standards |
| Coating process | Includes spraying, electrophoresis, etc. | No organic solvent treatment involved | New safety requirements for mixed air spraying |
1. Pre-treatment process safety:Emphasis on ventilation and protection requirements for chemical pre-treatments such as pickling and phosphating, and the application of individual ventilation systems in hazardous areas.
2. Coating process safety:For the safe operation of processes such as electrostatic spraying and electrophoretic painting, technical specifications for mixed air spraying and airless spraying are specially added.
3. Ventilation system requirements:Emphasis on the combined use of comprehensive ventilation and local exhaust, and new control indicators for the concentration of harmful gases in circulating air.
When implementing this standard, enterprises should focus on the following points:
GB 6514-2023 Safety code of practice for coating—Safety and ventilation for coating process has been changed from GB 7692-2012 Safety code for painting.Safety、ventilation and air clean-up for pretreatment process of painting.
