Explosive atmospheres - Part 29-2: Gas detectors - Selection, installation, use and maintenance of detectors for flammable gases and oxygen
NEW! IEC 60079-29-2:2015 is available as IEC Standards+ 60079-29-2:2015 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 60079-29-2:2015 gives guidance on, and recommended practice for, the selection, installation, safe use and maintenance of electrically operated Group II equipment intended for use in industrial and commercial safety applications and Group I equipment in underground coal mines for the detection and measurement of flammable gases complying with the requirements of IEC 60079-29-1 or IEC 60079-29-4. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Please refer to the Foreword of the document for a listing of the changes from the previous edition. Keywords: gas detectors, flammable gases, vapours

IEC 60079-29-2:2015 donne des lignes directrices et des recommandations pratiques pour la sélection, l’installation, l’utilisation en toute sécurité et la maintenance des matériels électriques de groupe II destinés à une utilisation dans des applications de sécurité sur des sites industriels et commerciaux, et des matériels de groupe I utilisés dans les mines de charbon souterraines pour la détection et le mesurage des gaz inflammables conformément aux exigences de l'IEC 60079-29-1 ou de l'IEC 60079-29-4. La présente version bilingue (2017-12) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2015-03. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2007. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: 1) Ajout du Groupe 1 au Domaine d’application 2) Ajout de la Détection de gaz à chemin ouvert 3) Ajout d’applications spécifiques 4) Améliorations apportées aux systèmes d’échantillonnage Mots-clés: détecteurs de gaz, gaz inflammables, vapeurs
Eksplozivne atmosfere - 29-2. del: Javljalniki plina - Izbira, vgradnja, uporaba in vzdrževanje detektorjev za gorljive pline in kisik (IEC 60079-29-2:2015)
Ta del standarda IEC 60079-29 podaja smernice in priporočeno prakso za izbiro, namestitev, varno uporabo in vzdrževanje električno upravljane opreme skupine II, namenjene varnostni uporabi v industrijske in komercialne namene, in opreme skupine I v podzemnih premogovnikih za zaznavanje in merjenje gorljivih plinov, ki ustreza zahtevam standarda IEC 60079-29-1 ali IEC 60079-29-4.
Ta standard se uporablja za merjenje kisika za namene inertizacije v okoljih, kjer se zaščita pred eksplozijami zagotavlja z izključevanjem kisika namesto z merjenjem prisotnih gorljivih plinov ali hlapov. Uporablja se tudi za merjenje kisika pri inertizaciji izčrpanih območij v podzemnem premogovniku.
Ta standard je zbirka praktičnega znanja za pomoč uporabniku in se uporablja za opremo, instrumente in sisteme, ki kažejo na prisotnost gorljive ali potencialno eksplozivne mešanice plina ali hlapov z zrakom z uporabo električnega signala iz senzorjev plina, ki izvede meritve za odbiranje, aktivira vidni ali zvočni prednastavljeni alarm ali drugo napravo ali izvede kombinacijo obojega.
Taka oprema se lahko uporablja za zmanjševanje tveganja, kjer obstaja možnost, da je ogroženo človeško življenje ali lastnina predvsem zaradi nabiranja gorljive mešanice zraka in plina, in sicer tako, da opozarja na možno nevarnost. Uporablja se lahko tudi za sprožanje določenih varnostnih preventivnih ukrepov (npr. zaustavitev obrata, evakuacijo, sprožanje gasilnih postopkov).
Ta standard se uporablja za fiksne naprave in prevozno opremo. Uporablja se tudi za varno rabo prenosne opreme. Ker veliko moderne opreme te vrste vključuje tudi zaznavanje pomanjkanja kisika in/ali določene detektorje strupenega plina, so podane tudi dodatne smernice, ki pokrivajo te teme. Za potrebe tega standarda, razen kjer je izrecno drugače določeno, gorljivi
plini vključujejo tudi gorljive hlape. Ta standard ne zajema meglic zaradi trenutno uporabljeni tehnik merjenja,
Ta standard velja za opremo skupine II (tj. oprema, namenjena varnostni uporabi v industrijske in komercialne namene na območjih, ki so razvrščena v skladu s standardom IEC 60079-10-1) in opremo skupine I.
Za potrebe tega standarda oprema vključuje
a) fiksno opremo vključno z opremo, nameščeno na vozila;
b) prevozno opremo in
c) portable equipment.
Ta standard ne pokriva, vendar lahko nudi koristne informacije v zvezi z:
a) opremo, namenjeno izključno zaznavanju negorljivih strupenih plinov;
b) laboratorijsko ali znanstveno opremo, namenjeno izključno analizi ali merjenju;
c) opremo, namenjeno izključno nadzoru procesov;
d) opremo, namenjeno obdelavi in izdelavi eksplozivov;
e) opremo, namenjeno zaznavanju eksplozivne atmosfere, ki je posledica prahu ali meglic v zraku.
