Explosive atmospheres - Part 17: Electrical installations inspection and maintenance

IEC 60079-17:2013 applies to users and covers factors directly related to the inspection and maintenance of electrical installations within hazardous areas only, where the hazard may be caused by flammable gases, vapours, mists, dusts, fibres or flyings. It does not include: - other fundamental installation and inspection requirements for electrical installations; - the verification of electrical equipment; - the repair and reclamation of explosion protected equipment (see IEC 60079-19). This standard supplements the requirements of IEC 60364-6. In the case of dusts, fibres or flyings the level of housekeeping may influence the inspection and maintenance requirements. This standard is intended to be applied where there can be a risk due to the presence of explosive gas or dust mixtures with air or combustible dust layers under normal atmospheric conditions. It does not apply to: - underground mining areas, - dusts of explosives that do not require atmospheric oxygen for combustion, - pyrophoric substances. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2007 and constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - Equipment specific inspection tables for luminaires, heating systems and motors have been added into Annex A to supplement the general protection concept tables; - Document has been updated to complement the changes made to IEC 60079-14 for initial inspection. Keywords: inspection and maintenance of electrical installations within hazardous area, flammable gases, vapours, mists, dusts, fibres or flyings

Elle ne comprend pas: - les autres exigences fondamentales relatives à l'installation et à l'inspection pour les installations électriques; - la vérification du matériel électrique; - les réparations et remises en état de matériel protégé contre les explosions (voir CEI 60079-19). La présente norme constitue un complément pour les exigences de la CEI 60364-6. Dans le cas de poussières, fibres ou particules en suspension, le niveau de l'entretien courant peut influencer les exigences d'entretien et d'inspection. La présente norme est destinée à être appliquée lorsqu'il existe un risque dû à la présence de gaz explosifs ou de mélanges de poussières dans l'air ou des couches de poussières combustibles dans des conditions atmosphériques normales. Elle ne s'applique pas: - aux parties souterraines des mines, - aux poussières d'explosifs qui n'exigent pas d'oxygène de l'air pour leur combustion, - aux substances pyrophoriques. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition publiée en 2007 et constitue une révision technique. Les modifications techniques importantes par rapport à l'édition antérieure sont indiquées ci-dessous: - Des tableaux relatifs à l'inspection spécifique au matériel pour les luminaires, systèmes de chauffage et moteurs ont été ajoutés dans l'Annexe A afin de compléter les tableaux de concept de protection générale; - Le document a été actualisé pour compléter les modifications apportées à la CEI 60079-14. Mots clés : l'inspection et à l'entretien des installations électriques situées à l'intérieur des emplacements dangereux, gaz, des vapeurs, des brouillards, des poussières, des fibres ou des particules en suspension inflammables

Eksplozivne atmosfere - 17. del: Pregledovanje in vzdrževanje električnih inštalacij

Ta del skupine standardov IEC 60079 velja za uporabnike in zajema dejavnike, neposredno povezane s pregledovanjem in vzdrževanjem električnih napeljav izključno v nevarnih območjih, kjer lahko tveganje povzročijo vnetljivi plini, hlapi, meglice, prah, vlakna ali odpadki iz predilnic. Ta standard ne vključuje: – drugih temeljnih zahtev nameščanja in pregledovanja za električne napeljave, – preverjanja električne opreme, – popravil in reklamacij opreme, zaščitene pred eksplozijami (glejte standard IEC 60079-19). Ta standard dopolnjuje zahteve iz standarda IEC 60364-6. V primeru prahu, vlaken ali odpadkov iz predilnic lahko na zahteve pregledovanja in vzdrževanja vpliva raven vzdrževanja čistoče. Ta standard je namenjen uporabi v primerih tveganja zaradi prisotnosti eksplozivnega plina ali mešanic prahu z zrakom ali gorljivih plasti prahu v običajnih atmosferskih pogojih. Ne uporablja se za: – podzemna rudniška okolja, – prah eksplozivov, ki za zgorevanje ne potrebuje atmosferskega kisika, – piroforne snovi.

Explosive atmospheres - Part 26: Equipment with Separation Elements or combined Levels of Protection
SIST EN IEC 60079-26:2024

IEC 60079-26:2021 specifies requirements for construction, testing and marking for Ex Equipment that contains parts of the equipment with different Equipment Protection Levels (EPLs) and a separation element. This equipment is mounted across a boundary where different EPLs are required, for example between different gas hazardous areas, dust hazardous areas or gas hazardous areas adjacent to dust hazardous areas. Separation elements are considered for both electrical and non-electrical equipment. If mechanical energy can be transformed into a potential ignition source, additionally an ignition hazard assessment in accordance with ISO 80079-36 is performed and appropriate measures are undertaken. This document also specifies requirements for the combination of two Types of Protection, each with EPL Gb, to achieve EPL Ga. This document supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this document conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this document takes precedence. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition and constitutes a technical revision. Please see the IEC 60079-26:2020 foreword for a description of the main changes with respect to the previous edition.

Workplace atmospheres - Part 1: Gas detectors - Performance requirements of detectors for toxic gases
SIST EN IEC 62990-1:2023

This part of IEC 62990 specifies general requirements for design, function and performance, and describes the test methods that apply to portable, transportable, and fixed equipment for the detection and concentration measurement of toxic gases and vapours in workplace atmospheres and other industrial and commercial applications. This document is applicable to continuously sensing equipment whose primary purpose is to provide an indication, alarm and/or other output function the purpose of which is to indicate the presence of a toxic gas or vapour in the atmosphere and in some cases to initiate automatic or manual protective action(s). It is applicable to equipment in which the sensor generates an electrical signal when gas is present. This document applies to two types of equipment: - Type HM (Health Monitoring) ‘occupational exposure’ equipment: For occupational exposure measurement, the performance requirements are focused on uncertainty of measurement of gas concentrations in the region of Occupational Exposure Limit Values (OELV). The upper limit of measurement will be defined by the manufacturer in accordance with 4.2.1. - Type SM (Safety Monitoring) ‘general gas detection’ equipment: For general gas detection applications (e.g. safety warning, leak detection), the performance requirements are focused on alarm signalling. The upper limit of measurement will be defined by the manufacturer according to the intended use of the equipment. In general, the requirements for accuracy will be higher for Type HM equipment than for Type SM equipment. The same equipment may meet the requirements of both Type HM and Type SM. For equipment used for sensing the presence of multiple gases this document applies only to the detection of toxic gas or vapour. This document is not applicable to equipment: - with samplers and concentrators such as sorbents or paper tape having an irreversible indication; - used for the measurement of gases and vapours related to the risk of explosion; - used for the measurement of oxygen; – used only in laboratories for analysis or measurement; - used only for process measurement purposes; - used in the domestic environment; - used in environmental air pollution monitoring; - used for open-path (line of sight) area gas measurement; - used for ventilation control in car parks or tunnels.

The upper limit of measurement will be defined by the manufacturer according to the intended use of the equipment. In general, the requirements for accuracy will be higher for Type HM equipment than for Type SM equipment. The same equipment may meet the requirements of both Type HM and Type SM. For equipment used for sensing the presence of multiple gases this document applies only to the detection of toxic gas or vapour. This document is not applicable to equipment: - with samplers and concentrators such as sorbents or paper tape having an irreversible indication; - used for the measurement of gases and vapours related to the risk of explosion; - used for the measurement of oxygen; – used only in laboratories for analysis or measurement; - used only for process measurement purposes; - used in the domestic environment; - used in environmental air pollution monitoring; - used for open-path (line of sight) area gas measurement; - used for ventilation control in car parks or tunnels.
