This part of ISO/IEC 80079 specifies the technical requirements for design, construction, conversion, testing, marking and the information required for use to avoid or minimise the possibility of ignition which could from reciprocating internal combustion engine intended for use in explosive atmospheres including:
– Group I EPL Mb for use in underground workings susceptible to firedamp or combustible dust,
– Group II EPL Gb and EPL Gc for use in explosive atmospheres of flammable gas and vapour, and
– Group III EPL Db and EPL Dc for use in explosive atmospheres of combustible dust.
– For EPL Gc and Dc engines, only normal operating conditions need to be taken into account. Malfunctions need not be considered (see B.2.1).
This document includes those tests of the engine and its ancillary devices that are required to verify compliance with this document.
This document applies to both reciprocating internal combustion engines with compression ignition for EPL Mb, Gb, Gc, Db, Dc and gaseous fuelled spark ignition engines for EPL Gc. See Annex G.
This document does not define requirements relating to the driven machinery and equipment.
This document does not apply to
– explosive mixtures of vapours and gases, which tend to self-decompose (for example carbon disulphide (CS2), ethylene oxide (C2H4O), acetylene (C2H2)) or which are chemically unstable;
• hydrogen fueled engines, including blends;
• engines used in areas for the processing, manufacture or storage of explosives;
• gasoline and other spark ignited engines where the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber as a liquid; or
• electrical ignition spark systems.
Note 1 Spark ignition systems used with equipment covered by ISO/IEC 80079-41 is covered by IEC 60079-45
This document solely deals with explosion protection requirements. Requirements on gaseous or particulate exhaust emissions are not covered by this standard.
General safety requirements are not included in this International Standard.
This document does not specify requirements for safety, other than those directly related to the possibility of ignition of flammable mixtures in the surrounding atmosphere which can lead to an explosion.
The standard atmospheric conditions (relating to the explosion characteristics of the atmosphere) under which it can be assumed that the engine may be operated are:
• temperature –20 °C to +60 °C
• pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar); and
• air with normal oxygen content, typically 21% v/v.
An engine for use outside of the standard atmospheric conditions is to be designed, constructed tested and marked for those conditions. The ignition hazard assessment, ignition, protection provided, additional testing (if necessary) manufacturer’s technical documentation and instructions to the user are intended toclearly demonstrate the engine’s suitability for the conditions.
NOTE 2 changes in temperature and pressure have an influence on the characteristics of the explosive atmosphere including ignitability
NOTE 3 IEC TS 60079-43 gives information for equipment used in explosive atmospheres in environmental conditions which include ambient temperatures below –20 °C and additional adverse conditions, including maritime applications.
NOTE 4 Reciprocating internal combustion engines are not considered as pressure vessels.
This document supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0:2017 and ISO 80079-36. Where a requirement of this document conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0:2017 and ISO 80079-36 as far as applicable for Ex engines, the requirement of this standard takes precedence.
NOTE 5 On-going inspection, maintenance and repair aspects play an important role in control of hazardous area installations and the user’s attention is drawn to IEC 60079-17, IEC 60079-19 and IEC 60079-14 and manufacturer’s instructions for further information concerning these aspects.

This document specifies general principles for the development and evaluation of the machine performance level achieved (MPLa) of safety-control systems (SCS) using components powered by all energy sources (e.g. electronic, electrical, hydraulic, mechanical) used in earth-moving machinery and its equipment, as defined in ISO 6165.
The principles of this document apply to machine control systems (MCS) that control machine motion or mitigate a hazard; such systems are assessed for machine performance level required (MPLr) per ISO 19014-1 or ISO/TS 19014-5.
Excluded from the scope of this document are the following systems:
— awareness systems that do not impact machine motion (e.g. cameras and radar detectors);
— fire suppression systems, unless the activation of the system interferes with, or activates, another SCS.
Other systems or components whereby the operator would be aware of failure (e.g. windscreen wipers, head lights, etc.), or are primarily used to protect property, are excluded from this document. Audible warnings are excluded from the requirements of diagnostic coverage.
In addition, this document addresses the significant hazards as defined in ISO 12100 mitigated by the hardware components within the SCS.
This document is not applicable to EMM manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document provides a methodology for the determination of performance levels required for earth moving machinery (EMM) as defined in ISO 6165.
A Machine Control System Safety Analysis (MCSSA) determines the amount of risk reduction of hazards associated with control systems, required for Safety Control Systems (SCS). This reduction is quantified by the Machine Performance Level (MPL), the hazards are identified using the risk assessment principles as defined in ISO 12100 or by other means.
NOTE 1 Step 2 as shown in Annex A demonstrates the relationship between ISO 12100 and ISO 19014 as a complementary protective measure.
NOTE 2 ISO 19014 can also be used to assess the functional safety requirements of other off-road mobile machinery.
For those controls determined to be safety-related, the characteristics for architecture, hardware, software environmental requirements and performance are covered by other parts in ISO 19014.
ISO 19014 covers the hazards caused by the failure of a safety control system and excludes hazards arising from the equipment itself (for example, electric shock, fire, etc.).
Other controls that are not safety control systems (SCS), that do not mitigate a hazard or perform a control function and where the operator would be aware of a failure, are excluded from this standard (e.g. windscreen wipers, head lights, cab light, etc.).
NOTE 3 A list of safety control systems is included in Annex D.
NOTE 4 Audible warnings are excluded from the requirements of diagnostic coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Regulation is a binding legislative act that must be applied in its entirety across the European Union. Unlike directives, regulations do not need to be transposed into national law and are directly applicable in all member states. Regulations are used when uniform application across all EU countries is essential.
Regulation 2023/1230 covers "Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2023 on machinery and repealing Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 73/361/EEC (Text with EEA relevance)". There are 288 standards associated with this regulation.
Harmonized standards under 2023/1230 are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2023/1230, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
