NOTE 1 35 MPa (350 bar) is currently the upper limit for machines covered by EN 60335‑2‑79.
NOTE 2 In general the machines in the scope will not be in the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. In some cases, specific parts may be in the scope of that directive, but their application is not dealt with in this document.
This document does not apply to high pressure cleaners which are dealt with in EN 60335‑2‑54 and EN 60335‑2‑79.NOTE 3 EN 60335‑2‑54 applies to steam cleaners for household use. EN 60335‑2‑79 applies to high pressure cleaners having a rated pressure not less than 2,5 MPa and not exceeding 35 MPa, as well as steam cleaners and those parts of hot water high pressure cleaners incorporating a steam stage which have a capacity not exceeding 100 l, a rated pressure not exceeding 2,5 MPa and a product of capacity and rated pressure not exceeding 5 MPa·l.
This document does not cover additional hazards due to the incorporation of high pressure water jet machines into other process-technology machines. This document does not cover specific hazards associated with explosive atmospheres, use on ships or ambient temperatures outside the range 5 °C to 40 °C. This document does not cover hazards associated with the drives or specific hazards due to any heat generation function. However the hazards due to high temperatures of touchable surfaces are dealt with. Any hazard due to the nature of liquids used for jetting, other than that due to pressure, is excluded from the scope of this European Standard. This document is not applicable to high pressure water jet machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
