should not be used for explosive, unstable or self-
igniting particles or dusts with a minimum ignition
energy (MIE) < 3mJ.
Machines of Type 22 are not suitable for picking
up dusts and liquids with a high explosion risk or
mixtures of combustible dusts with liquids, and are
not suitable for picking up potentially explosive or
equivalent substances in the meaning of the Direc-
