This document is applicable to spray booths as well as multizone spray booths for the application of organic liquid
coating materials (paints, varnishes....), and deals with all significant hazards relevant to spray booths or multizone
spray booths, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see
clause 4).
A spray booth is an assembly of the following linked components: forced ventilation by one or more fans; dry air
filtering and/or wet air washing systems, measuring and control devices, ventilation air heating system, automatic
fire extinguishing equipment, warning devices, electrical apparatus, joined together within or at a partially or totally
enclosed structure (limited by walls, called space) for the controlled processing of spray application of organic liquid
coating material.
