- working pit, in special case.
This document does not cover:
a) booths for automatic spraying, powder spray booths, open booths, and portable heaters.
b) design of the building foundations upon which a booth is installed
c) the civil engineering and building design where a booth is constructed as, or to use part of, a new or existing building
d) spraying equipment (see EN 1953), automatic devices for spraying systems like robots (see EN 775) or reciprocators or similar systems, conveyors, lifts and continuous handling equipment and systems (see EN 619).
