Compressors and vacuum pumps - Safety requirements - Part 1: Compressors
This standard is applicable to all types of compressors. The standard lists the significant hazards associated with compressors and specifies safety requirements applicable to the design, installation, operation, maintenance and dismantling of compressors during their foreseeable lifetime and subsequent disposal. Compressors intended for use in special applications shall also comply with any specific standards relating to those applications. This standard specifies safety requirements for all compressors and additional requirements for the following specific types: Compressors for various types of gases - oil-lubricated air compressors - oil-flooded air compressors - oil-free air compressors - compressors for handling hazardous gases (gas compressors) - compressors for handling oxygen - compressors for handling acetylene Compressors for extreme temperature and pressures - high pressure compressors, over 40 bar - compressors for low inlet temperatures, below 0 øC. Other types of compressors - large compressors (over 1000 kW, input power) - portable and skid mounted air compressors - compressors exposed for potentially explosive atmospheres Exceptions The following compressors are excluded from the scope of this standard: - compressors having a shaft input power of less than 0,5 kW - compressors for gases other than acetylene, having a maximum allowable working pressure of less than 0,5 bar - refrigerant compressors used in refrigerating systems or heat pumps as defined in EN 378.
Kompressoren und Vakuumpumpen - Sicherheitsanforderungen - Teil 1: Kompressoren
Diese Norm gilt für alle Bauarten von Kompressoren. Die Norm listet die grundlegenden Gefährdungen auf, die von Kompressoren ausgehen. Sie legt Sicherheitsanforderungen fest, die sich auf die Konstruktion, das Aufstellen, den Betrieb, die Wartung und das Demontieren von Kompressoren während ihrer voraussichtlichen Lebensdauer und ihrer darauffolgenden Entsorgung beziehen. Kompressoren, die für besondere Anwendungen bestimmt sind, müssen zusätzlich auch mit den besonderen Normen, die sich auf diese Anwendungen beziehen, im Einklang stehen.
Compresseurs et pompes à vide - Prescriptions de sécurité - Partie 1: Compresseurs
La présente norme est applicable à tous les types de compresseurs. Elle énumèreles risques significatifs associés aux compresseurs et fixe les exigences de sécurité applicables à la conception, à l'installation, au fonctionnement, à la maintenance et au démontage des compresseurs au cours de leur durée de vie prévisible et de leur mise au rebut ultérieure. Les compresseurs prévus pour des applications particulières doivent également être conformes aux normes spécifiquement associées à ces applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
EN 1012-1:1996 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Compressors and vacuum pumps - Safety requirements - Part 1: Compressors". This standard covers: This standard is applicable to all types of compressors. The standard lists the significant hazards associated with compressors and specifies safety requirements applicable to the design, installation, operation, maintenance and dismantling of compressors during their foreseeable lifetime and subsequent disposal. Compressors intended for use in special applications shall also comply with any specific standards relating to those applications. This standard specifies safety requirements for all compressors and additional requirements for the following specific types: Compressors for various types of gases - oil-lubricated air compressors - oil-flooded air compressors - oil-free air compressors - compressors for handling hazardous gases (gas compressors) - compressors for handling oxygen - compressors for handling acetylene Compressors for extreme temperature and pressures - high pressure compressors, over 40 bar - compressors for low inlet temperatures, below 0 øC. Other types of compressors - large compressors (over 1000 kW, input power) - portable and skid mounted air compressors - compressors exposed for potentially explosive atmospheres Exceptions The following compressors are excluded from the scope of this standard: - compressors having a shaft input power of less than 0,5 kW - compressors for gases other than acetylene, having a maximum allowable working pressure of less than 0,5 bar - refrigerant compressors used in refrigerating systems or heat pumps as defined in EN 378.
