A) Definitions
Minor and editorial changes clarification
decrease of technical requirements
minor technical change
editorial corrections

Changes in a standard classified as ‘Minor and editorial changes’ refer to changes regarding the previous
standard, which modify requirements in an editorial or a minor technical way. Also changes of the wording
to clarify technical requirements without any technical change are classified as ‘Minor and editorial
changes’.
A reduction in level of existing requirement is also classified as ‘Minor and editorial changes’

Extension addition of technical options

Changes in a standard classified as ‘extension’ refers to changes regarding the previous standard, 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 ‘extensions’ will not have to be considered for products in conformity with the preceding edition.


Major technical change addition of technical requirements
increase of technical requirements

Changes in a standard classified as ‘Major technical change’ refer to changes regarding the previous
standard, which add new or increase the level of existing technical requirements, in a way that a product

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES –

Part 35-1: Caplights for use in mines susceptible to firedamp –
General requirements – Construction and testing
in relation to the risk of explosion


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60079-35-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 31:
Equipment for explosive atmospheres.
This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 62013-1, published in 2005,
and constitutes a full technical revision.
In addition to the general revision and updating of IEC 62013-1, the main technical
differences with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
a) the inclusion of Table 1 listing the application or exclusion of specific clauses of
IEC 60079-0;
b) redrafting in the style of other IEC 60079 series standards;
c) the introduction of a means to achieve an equipment protection level (EPL) of Ma;

d) the introduction of a single clause relating to equipment construction replacing
individual specific clauses for the headpiece, battery, cable and external charging
contacts;
e) the deletion of statements relating to surface temperature, the rewording of statements
relating to creepage and clearance and the addition of statements relating to thermal
protection, electronic assemblies and additional circuitry;
f) specific reference to lithium cells;
g) the addition of statements relating to battery recharging and protection against deep

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
31/921/FDIS 31/938/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60079-35 series, under the general title: Explosive atmospheres –
Caplights for use in mines susceptible to firedamp, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
The general revision and updating of this second edition have been necessitated by the
advent of new technologies related to caplight design, in particular those related to lithium
batteries and light-emitting diode (LED) light sources, the growing practice of incorporating
electronic circuits and the introduction of intrinsically safe caplights which can be certified
without reference to performance requirements. It is intended that there should be a stronger
link between Part 1 (Construction) and Part 2 (Performance) of this Standard by upgrading
the reference in the Scope from a note to a requirement.
In addition, as this standard is now to become part of the IEC 60079 series, changes have
been made to bring it more in line with others in the series by cross referencing. This has
enabled a reduction in the number and length of clauses in the standard.

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES –

Part 35-1: Caplights for use in mines susceptible to firedamp –
General requirements – Construction and testing
in relation to the risk of explosion



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60079-35 specifies requirements for the construction, testing and marking of
caplights, including caplights with a point of connection for other equipment, for use in mines
susceptible to firedamp (Group I – electrical equipment for explosive gas atmospheres as
defined in IEC 60079-0). It deals only with the risk of the caplight becoming a source of
ignition.
1

The requirements for performance are in IEC 60079-35-2.
This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0 except as
indicated in Table 1. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of
IEC 60079-0, the requirements of this standard take precedence.
Compliance with this standard will provide an EPL of Mb (see 4.1 of this standard). If an EPL
of Ma is required, the caplight will need to conform to the requirements of 4.2 of this standard,
which in turn refers to IEC 60079-11.
It is expected that from time to time, caplights conforming to this standard (EPL Mb) will
operate in atmospheres where the firedamp exceeds statutory levels that require the
withdrawal of people from the high firedamp atmosphere to a non-hazardous area.
In designing equipment for operation in conditions other than those given above, this standard
may be used as guidance; however, additional testing may be required.
Where a caplight is assessed as intrinsically safe equipment, Ex ia, conforming to IEC 60079-
11 only the clauses/subclauses listed in 4.2 require application.
