Explosive atmospheres - Part 14: Electrical installations design, selection and erection
IEC 60079-14:2013 contains the specific requirements for the design, selection, erection and initial inspection of electrical installations in, or associated with, explosive atmospheres. Where the equipment is required to meet other environmental conditions, for example, protection against ingress of water and resistance to corrosion, additional protection requirements may be necessary. The requirements of this standard apply only to the use of equipment under standard atmospheric conditions as defined in IEC 60079-0. For other conditions, additional precautions may be necessary, and the equipment should be certified for these other conditions. For example, most flammable materials and many materials which are normally regarded as non-flammable might burn vigorously under conditions of oxygen enrichment. These requirements are in addition to the requirements for installations in non-hazardous areas. This standard applies to all electrical equipment including fixed, portable, transportable and personal, and installations, permanent or temporary. No account is taken in this Standard of the toxic risks that are associated with flammable gases, liquids and dusts in concentrations that are usually very much less than the lower explosive limit. In locations where personnel may be exposed to potentially toxic concentrations of flammable material, appropriate precautions should be taken. Such precautions are outside the scope of this Standard. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Refer to the document's Foreward for a listing of the specific revisions and additional Notes. Key words: requirements for the design, selection, erection and initial inspection of electrical installations in explosive atmospheres
Explosionsgefährdete Bereiche - Teil 14: Projektierung, Auswahl und Errichtung elektrischer Anlagen
Atmosphères explosives - Partie 14: Conception, sélection et construction des installations électriques
L'IEC 60079-14:2013 contient les exigences spécifiques de conception, de sélection, de construction et d'inspection initiale applicables aux installations électriques situées ou en relation avec des atmosphères explosives. Lorsque le matériel est tenu de satisfaire à d'autres conditions environnementales, par exemple, la protection contre la pénétration de l'eau et la résistance à la corrosion, des exigences de protection supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires. Les exigences de la présente norme s'appliquent uniquement à l'utilisation de matériels dans des conditions atmosphériques normalisées telles que définies dans la CEI 60079-0. Pour d'autres conditions, des précautions complémentaires peuvent être nécessaires, et il convient de certifier le matériel pour ces mêmes conditions. Par exemple, la plupart des matières inflammables et beaucoup de matières normalement réputées ininflammables sont susceptibles de brûler violemment dans des conditions enrichies en oxygène. Ces exigences complètent celles relatives aux installations dans les emplacements non dangereux. La présente norme est applicable à tout matériel électrique fixe, portable, transportable et personnel et aux installations permanentes ou temporaires. La présente norme ne tient pas compte des risques toxiques associés aux gaz, liquides et poussières inflammables présents dans des concentrations habituellement bien inférieures à la limite inférieure d'explosivité. Sur les sites où le personnel peut être exposé à des concentrations potentiellement toxiques de matières inflammables, il convient de prendre des précautions appropriées. Ces précautions ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application de la présente norme. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2007, dont elle constitue une révision technique.

Mots clès: exigences de conception, de sélection, de construction et d'inspection initiale applicables aux installations électriques situées ou en des atmosphères explosives
Eksplozivne atmosfere - 14. del: Načrtovanje, izbira in namestitev električnih inštalacij (IEC 60079-14:2013)
Standard EN IEC 60079-14 vsebuje posebne zahteve za načrtovanje, izbiro, namestitev in začetni pregled električnih inštalacij v eksplozivnih atmosferah ali v povezavi z njimi. Kadar je potrebna oprema za izpolnjevanje drugih okoljskih razmer, na primer zaščita pred vdorom vode in odpornost proti koroziji, so morda potrebne dodatne zahteve. Zahteve tega standarda se nanašajo samo na uporabo opreme v standardnih atmosferskih pogojih, kot so opredeljeni v standardu IEC 60079-0. Za druge pogoje so morda potrebni dodatni varnostni ukrepi. Oprema naj bi bila certificirana za te pogoje. Na primer večina vnetljivih materialov in številni materiali, ki se običajno obravnavajo kot nevnetljivi, močno gorijo ob dodajanju kisika. Te zahteve so dodatne k zahtevam za inštalacije v nenevarnih območjih. Ta standard velja za vso električno opremo, vključno s fiksno, prenosno, premično in osebno, ter stalne ali začasne inštalacije. Ta standard ne velja za - električne inštalacije v rudnikih, ki so občutljive na eksplozivni jamski plin. V tem standardu niso zajete nevarnosti zastrupitve, ki so povezane z vnetljivimi plini, tekočinami in prahom v koncentracijah, ki so običajno precej pod spodnjo mejo eksplozivnosti. Na mestih, kjer je osebje lahko izpostavljeno morebitnim toksičnim koncentracijam vnetljivega materiala, naj bi upoštevali ustrezne previdnostne ukrepe. Ti ukrepi niso zajeti v tem standardu.

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 t h e requirements for the design, selection and erection of existing
i ns t al l at i on s that are fully compliant with the previous standard. Therefore, these will not have to be
considered for existing installations 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
an existing installation 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 existing installations in
conformity with the preceding edition, f or which additional information is provided in B) below.
These changes represent the latest state-of-the-art technology. However, these changes should not normally
have an influence on existing installations.
B) Information about the background of “major technical changes”
C1 Due to the risk of gassing producing hydrogen from all cell types, adequate provision for venting is required
as the gassing can create an explosive condition in small enclosures. This condition would apply to
torches, multi meters, pocket gas sensors and similar items. Alternatively, where the equipment meets
the requirements for Equipment Group IIC, the requirement of degassing apertures or limitation of hydrogen
concentration does not apply.
C2 An individual intrinsically safe circuit is also safe under short- circuit conditions. The short- circuit
between two independent intrinsically safe circuits is not considered. Therefore the terminal boxes have to
meet additional requirements for IP rating as well for the mechanical impact to make sure that the
integrity of the enclosure is given also under worst case conditions.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
