Its full title is "Electrical apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible gases - Performance requirements for Group I apparatus indicating up to 100 % (v/v) methane in air". This standard covers: 1.1 This European Standard specifies performance requirements for Group I (as defined in European Standard EN 50054) portable, troansportable and fixed apparatus for the detection and measurement of methane concentrations in mine air. The apparatus, or parts thereof, are intended for use in mines susceptible to firedamp and shall meet the general requirements and test methods specified in European Standard EN 50054. NOTE.
