2. Safety
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation
contrary to the intended use.
2.2 Responsibility of the operator
The legibility of the marking must be observed during time in use but at least
during inspection periods of three years. If any harm of the legibility is found
please contact the manufacturer to renew the marking.
For the safety of the system, the operator is obliged to carry out an ignition source
and ignition hazard analysis. Refer to chapter 2.3 “Ignition hazards”.
The responsibility for classication of zones lies with the plant manager and not
