COMMON MODIFICATIONS
Note The Division method of area classification of IEC/IEEE 60079-30-1:2015 is not
applicable for a European Standard, because a correlation with the Equipment
Categories according to the European Directive 2014/34/EU is not possible.
Consequently requirements for Divisions 1 and 2 are excluded from this standard.

NOTE The technical changes referred to include the significance of technical changes in the revised
IEC Standard, but they do not form an exhaustive list of all modifications from the previous version.

Explanation of the Types of Significant Changes:
A) Definitions
1. Minor and editorial changes:
• Clarification
• Decrease of technical requirements
• Minor technical change
• Editorial corrections
These are changes which modify requirements in an editorial or a minor technical
way. They include changes of the wording to clarify technical requirements without
any technical change, or a reduction in level of existing requirement.
2. Extension:
• Addition of technical options
These are changes which add new or modify existing technical requirements, in a
way that new options are given, but without increasing requirements for equipment
that was fully compliant with the previous standard. Therefore, these will not have
to be considered for products in conformity with the preceding edition.
3. Major technical changes:
• addition of technical requirements
• increase of technical requirements
These are changes to technical requirements (addition, increase of the level or
removal) made in a way that a product in conformity with the preceding edition will
not always be able to fulfil the requirements given in the later edition. These
changes have to be considered for products in conformity with the preceding
edition. For these changes additional information is provided in item B) below.
NOTE These changes represent current technological knowledge. However, these changes should
not normally have an influence on equipment already placed on the market.

B) Information about the background of ‘Major technical changes’

C1 – The requirements for additional mechanical testing have been included for
harmonization and for added safety.
C2 – The requirements for thermal performance have been included to recognize the
necessity for thermal stability of products in explosive atmospheres.
C3 – A second procedure utilizing a plate fixture has been included for sheath
temperature determination, which may be used in lieu of the sheath temperature
verification part of 5.1.13.4.2.
C4 – An outdoor exposure test has been added to cover products that may be exposed
to sunlight and moisture in the intended application.
C5 – Additional marking and documentation requirements have been added to provide
additional information to the end user.
C6 – The trace heating design verification methodology has been added to align with
the evaluation requirements for the stabilized design and the controlled design
methods of maximum sheath temperature determination.

Annex ZZ
(informative)
Relationship between this European standard and the essential requirements
of Directive 2014/34/EU aimed to be covered

This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request
to provide one voluntary means of conforming to essential of Directive 2014/34/EU of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the approximation of the
laws of the Member States concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres.

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within
the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding
essential requirements of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
