DIN EN 12816 contains the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health, safety and environmental protection at any stage. It has been assumed in the preparation of DIN EN 12816 that execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
