Non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres - Part 1: Basic method and requirements
This European Standard specifies the basic method and requirements for design, construction, testing and marking of non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in air of gas, vapour, mist and dusts. This standard is valid for atmospheres having pressures ranging from 0,8 bar to 1,1 bar and temperatures ranging from -20 °C to + 60 °C. Such atmospheres can also exist inside the equipment. The external atmosphere can be drawn inside the equipment by natural breathing produced as a result of fluctuations in the equipment's internal operating pressure, and/or temperature.
This standard can also be helpful for the design, construction, testing and marking of equipment intended for use in atmospheres outside the validity range stated above, but in this case, the ignition risk assessment, ignition protection provided, additional testing (if necessary), manufacturer's technical documentation and instructions to the user, should clearly demonstrate and indicate the equipment's suitability for the conditions it may encounter.
NOTE 1 This standard does not cover additional marking for equipment intended for use outside the scope of its validity such as an oxygen enriched atmosphere.
Nicht-elektrische Geräte für den Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen - Teil 1: Grundlagen und Anforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die grundsätzlichen Anforderungen an Konstruktion, Bau, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung von nicht-elektrischen Geräten fest, die für den Einsatz in Luft durch Gase, Dämpfe, Nebel und Stäube explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen bestimmt sind. Diese Norm gilt für Atmosphären mit Drücken von 0,8 bar bis 1,1 bar und Temperaturen von -20 °C bis +60 °C. Derartige Atmosphären können auch im Inneren der Geräte vorliegen. Als Folge der Schwankungen von Innenbetriebsdruck und/oder -temperatur der Geräte kann die Außenatmosphäre durch natürliche Lüftung in das Geräteinnere gelangen.
Für Konstruktion, Bau, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung der Geräte, die für den Einsatz in Atmosphären bestimmt sind, die nicht in den Gültigkeitsbereich dieser Norm fallen, kann diese Norm als Leitfaden angewendet werden, jedoch sollten in diesem Fall durch Bewertung des Zündrisikos, der vorgesehenen Zündschutzart, der zusätzlichen Prüfung (falls erforderlich), der technischen Dokumentation des Herstellers und den Bedienungsanweisungen, die Eignung der Geräte für mögliche Einsatzbedingungen eindeutig dargestellt und nachgewiesen werden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die vorliegende Norm umfasst nicht die zusätzliche Kennzeichnung von Geräten, die für den Einsatz außerhalb des Geltungsbereiches vorgesehen sind, z. B. in mit Sauerstoff angereicherter Atmosphäre.
Die vorliegende Norm legt die Anforderungen an Konstruktion und Bau von Geräten für explosions-gefährdete Bereiche für sämtliche Kategorien der Gerätegruppen I und II fest. Diese Europäische Norm kann für die spezifischen Zündschutzarten durch Europäische Normen ergänzt werden, die gegenwärtig erarbeitet werden.
Matériels non électriques pour utilisation en atmosphères explosibles - Partie 1: Prescriptions et méthode de base
La présente Norme européenne définit la méthode et les exigences de base pour la conception, la construction, les essais et le marquage des appareils non électriques prévus pour l'utilisation en atmosphères explosibles sous forme de gaz, vapeurs, brouillards et poussières. La présente norme est valable dans des atmosphères avec des pressions allant de 0,8 bar à 1,1 bar et des températures allant de - 20 °C à + 60 °C. Ces atmosphères peuvent également exister à l'intérieur de l'appareil si, par exemple, l'atmosphère extérieure peut être aspirée naturellement à l'intérieur de l'appareil en raison des fluctuations de pression de service interne de l'appareil et/ou de température.
La présente Norme européenne peut également s'avérer utile pour la conception, la construction, les essais et le marquage des appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des atmosphères n'entrant pas dans la plage indiquée ci-dessus, mais, dans ce cas, il convient que l'évaluation du risque d'inflammation, la protection prévue à cet effet, les essais supplémentaires (si nécessaire), la documentation technique du fabricant et les instructions destinées à l'utilisateur démontrent et indiquent clairement que l'appareil est adapté aux conditions qu'il peut rencontrer.
NOTE 1 La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas des marquages complémentaires pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés hors du domaine d'application prévu, comme par exemple dans des atmosphères enrichies en oxygène.
Elle définit les prescriptions relatives à la conception et la construction des appareils prévus pour une utilisation en atmosphères explosibles en conformité avec toutes les catégories des groupes I et II. La présente Norme européenne peut être complétée par des Normes européennes en préparation, spécifiques de chacun des modes de protection contre l'inflammation :
