(Main + Amendment)Equipment and components intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in underground mines
Equipment and components intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in underground mines
This European Standard specifies the explosion protection requirements for the construction and marking of equipment that may be an individual item or form an assembly. This includes machinery and components placed on the market by a single supplier for use in mines susceptible to explosive atmospheres of firedamp and/or combustible dust (at atmospheric conditions as defined in EN 1127-2).
NOTE 1 This European Standard deals only with the ignition protection of mining machinery and manufacturers will need to take account of all other relevant EU Directives relating to the construction of machines e.g. the consolidated Machinery Directive 98/37/EC. Additionally, manufacturers will need to take account of any national legislation in the country where they intend to market their equipment.
NOTE 2 Where the flammable gas in the atmosphere is not predominantly methane, reference will need to be made to 4.1 in either EN 60079-0:2004 or EN 13463-1:2001.
NOTE 3 The definition of ‘equipment’ is contained in EN 13463-1. The definition of ‘assembly’ can be found the ATEX guidelines, published by the European Commission.
Equipment complying with the relevant clauses of this European Standard is considered to meet the requirements for equipment of Group I - Category M2.
This European Standard also deals with the prevention of ignitions of explosive atmospheres caused by burning (or smouldering) of combustible material such as fabric fibres, plastic "O"-rings, rubber seals, lubricating oils or greases used in the construction of the equipment if such items could be an ignition source. For example, the mechanical failure of rotating shaft bearings can result in frictional heating that ignites its plastic cage, plastic seal or lubricating grease. See also 5.2.4 of EN 13463-1:2001.
NOTE 4 The above clause of EN 13463-1 requires the ignition hazard assessment to include those components which, if they failed, could ignite any flammable substance (e.g. lubricating oil) contai
Geräte und Komponenten für den Einsatz in schlagwettergefährdeten Bereichen von untertägigen Bergwerken
Diese Europäische Norm legt die explosionsschutztechnischen Anforderungen an den Bau und die Kennzeichnung von Geräten fest, die separate Gegenstände sein können oder Baugruppen bilden. Dies schließt Geräte und Komponenten ein, die von einem einzelnen Lieferanten in Verkehr gebracht werden und die für die Verwendung in Bergwerken vorgesehen sind, die durch Grubengas und/oder brennbare Stäube (unter atmosphärischen Bedingungen - wie in EN 1127-2 definiert) gefährdet werden können.
ANMERKUNG 1 Diese Europäische Norm beschäftigt sich nur mit dem Zündschutz von Bergbaumaschinen. Die Hersteller haben alle anderen relevanten EG-Richtlinien in Betracht zu ziehen, die die Konstruktion von Maschinen betreffen, wie z. B. die fortentwickelte Maschinenrichtlinie 98/37/EG !und Richtlinie 2006/42/EC". Zusätzlich ist es erforderlich, dass die Hersteller die jeweilige nationale Gesetz¬gebung in dem Land in Betracht ziehen, in dem sie ihre Geräte vermarkten wollen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Enthalten die Wetter nicht vorwiegend Methan als brennbares Gas, ist ein Hinweis zu EN 60079 0:2004, 4.1, oder EN 13463-1:2001, 4.1, erforderlich.
ANMERKUNG 3 Die Definition von 'Gerät' ist in EN 13463-1 enthalten.
Geräte, die den entsprechenden Abschnitten der vorliegenden Europäischen Norm entsprechen, erfüllen die Anforderungen für die Geräte der Gruppe I – Kategorie M2.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt auch die Vermeidung von Zündungen von explosionsfähigen Atmosphären durch Brände (oder Glimmbrände) von brennbaren Materialien wie Gewebefasern, Kunststoff-„O“-Ringen, Gummidichtungen, Schmierölen oder -fetten, die in der Konstruktion benötigt werden, wenn solche Teile eine Zündquelle sein könnten. Z. B. kann Reibungshitze durch einen mechanischen Fehler oder rotierende Wellenlager den Plastikkäfig, die Plastikdichtung selbst oder das Schmierfett entzünden. Siehe EN 13463-1:2001, 5.2.4.
Appareils et composants destinés à être utilisés dans les mines souterraines grisouteuses
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives aux techniques de protection contre l’explosion au niveau de la construction et du marquage des appareils (éléments individuels ou faisant partie d’un assemblage). Ceci comprend les appareils et les composants qui sont mis en circulation par un fournisseur en particulier et qui sont prévus pour être utilisés dans les mines pouvant présenter des risques liés au grisou et/ou poussières inflammables (dans certaines conditions d’atmosphères, comme défini dans la norme EN 1127-2).
NOTE 1 !La présente Norme européenne traite uniquement de la protection des machines utilisées dans les mines et les fabricants doivent prendre en compte toutes les autres directives européennes pertinentes concernant la construction de machines comme par exemple la Directive Machines européenne amendée 98/37/CE et la Directive 2006/42/CE. De plus, les fabricants devront prendre en compte tous les autres textes réglementaires nationaux en vigueur dans les pays où sont commercialisés leurs appareils. "
NOTE 2 Si le gaz inflammable dans l’atmosphère n’est pas principalement du méthane, se reporter au 4.1 de l’EN 60079-0:2004 ou à l’EN 13463-1:2001.
NOTE 3 Le terme «appareil» est défini dans l’EN 13463-1.
Les appareils répondant aux dispositions de la présente Norme européenne sont considérés comme satisfaisant aux exigences relatives aux appareils du Groupe I — Catégorie M2.
La présente Norme européenne traite également de la prévention des inflammations des atmosphères explosives provoquées par la combustion (ou le feu couvant) de matériaux combustibles tels que les fibres textiles, les joints toriques en matières synthétiques, les joints d’étanchéité en caoutchouc, les huiles et graisses de lubrification qui sont nécessaires à la machine lorsque ces éléments peuvent représenter une source d’inflammation.
Oprema in komponente, namenjene za uporabo v potencialno eksplozivnih atmosferah v podzemnih rudnikih
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za varovanje pred eksplozijami pri izgradnji in označevanju opreme, ki je lahko posamezni predmet ali konstrukcija. To vključuje stroje in komponente, dane na trg s strani posameznega dobavitelja za uporabo v rudnikih, dovzetnih za eksplozivne atmosfere zaradi jamskega plina in/ali gorljivega prahu (pri atmosferskih pogojih, kot so opredeljeni v EN 1127-2).

Introduction
This European Standard specifies requirements for the constructional features of equipment and components
that may be an individual item or form an assembly, to enable them to be used in mines, or parts of mines,
susceptible to explosive atmospheres of firedamp and/or combustible coal dust.
Most of the electrical equipment used on mining machinery is certified as an individual item of equipment e.g.
the motor, switchgear etc., and meets its own marking requirements. This Notified Body Certification, howe
