FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (lEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
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. The 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 the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply lEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
International Standard IEC 1241-2-3 has been prepared by sub-committee 31H: Apparatus
for use in the presence of combustible dust, of IEC technical committee 31: Electrical
apparatus for explosive atmospheres.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
DIS Report on voting
31 H(CO)19
31H(CO)17
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
IEC 1241 consists of the following parts, under the general title: Electrical apparatus for
use in the presence of combustible dust:
- Part 1: Electrical apparatus protected by enclosures
- Part 2: Test methods
Annexes A, B and C are for information only.

ELECTRICAL APPARATUS FOR USE IN THE PRESENCE OF
COMBUSTIBLE DUST -
Part 2: Test methods -
Section 3: Method for determining minimum
ignition energy of dust/air mixtures
1 Scope
This section of IEC 1241-2 specifies a method of test to determine the minimum ignition
energy of a dust/air mixture by an electrically generated high-voltage d.c. spark. This test
method is intended to develop data to be used in deciding whether or not combustible
dust/air mixtures are considered to be ignitable with respect to electrical discharge. It is
intended that the dust be tested in a form (particle size, moisture content, etc.) represent-
ing conditions of actual use so that assessment of the hazard present can be made.
Ignition energies determined by this method would be compared with ignition energies of
other dusts to assess the relative hazard with regard to ignition by an electrical or electro-
static discharge, thereby permitting decisions to be made on the suitability of electrical
apparatus for installation in areas where combustible dust is present.
The test method is not suitable for use with recognized explosives, gunpowder, dynamite,
explosives which do not require oxygen for combustion; pyrophoric substances, or
substances or mixtures of substances which may under some circumstances behave in a
similar manner. Where any doubt exists about the existence of a hazard due to explosive
properties, an indication may be obtained by placing a very small quantity of the dust in
question on the heated surface of the apparatus described in section 1 of the IEC 1241-2-1,
heated to 400 °C.
NOTE – Precautions should be taken to safeguard the health of personnel conducting the tests against
the risk of fire, explosion and/or the effects, including toxic effects, of combustion. Compliance with this inter-
national standard does not itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
Annex B of this section includes guidance on the significance of minimum ignition energy
with respect to electrostatic discharges.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this section of IEC 1241-2, the definitions in IEC 50(301, 302, 303)
and also the following apply.
3.1 dust: Small solid particles that settle out under their own weight but that may remain
suspended in air for some time.
NOTE - This definition includes what are defined in ISO 4225 as "dust" and "grit".
Dust that is ignitable in mixtures with air.
3.2 combustible dust:

1 Mixtures of combustible dust in air are ignitable only between cert
2 Combustible dusts are capable of being ignited by external ignition sources and will continue to burn at
atmospheric temperatures but they will only spontaneously ignite above their minimum ignition temperatures.
3.3 spark discharge: Transient electric discharge which takes place between two
conductors which are at different potentials. A spark is a discrete discharge that bridges
the gap between the conductors in the form of a single ionization channel.
3.4 minimum ignition energy (of a combustible dust/air mixture): Lowest energy of
spark (as measured by the procedure in this standard) that is capable of igniting the most
sensitive dust/air mixture with sustained combustion.
3.5 ignition: In the test, ignition is considered to have occurred when:
- a pressure rise of at least 0,2 bar above any pressure introduced by the igniting
spark is measured in a closed vessel (e.g. 20 I sphere); or
- a flame which propagates at least 6 cm away from the spark position is observed in
an open tube (e.g. Hartmann tube).
Time between dispersion of the dust and the occurrence of the
3.6 ignition delay time:
spark discharge.
4 Test apparatus
4.1 Spark generation circuit
Annex A describes some suitable forms of circuit, all of which shall have the following
characteristics. What follows deals only with the circuit:
- inductance of discharge circuit: 1 mH to 2 mH except when the data is to be used
for the assessment of electrostatic hazards when the inductance of the discharge
circuit shall not exceed 25 µH;
- ohmic resistance of discharge circuit: as low as possible and not more than 5 S2;
electrode material: stainless steel, brass, copper or tungsten;
-
- electrode diameter and shape: 2,0 mm ± 0,5 mm. Electrodes with rounded tips can
be used to reduce corona effects that can occur with pointed electrodes, and which
may give incorrect values of spark energy. If pointed electrodes are used, corona
effects should be carefully considered;

1241-2-3 IEC:1994 -11 -
- electrode gap: 6 mm (minimum);
- capacitors: low-inductance type, resistant to surge current;
- capacitance of electrode arrangement: as low as possible;
prevent leakage
- insulation resistance between electrodes: sufficiently high to
currents.
S2 is required for a minimum
NOTE — Typically, a minimum resistance between the electrodes of 10 12
ignition energy of 1 mJ, and 10 10 S2 for a minimum ignition energy of 100 mJ.
4.2 Test vessel
rtmann tube. These
The recommended vessels are the 20 I sphere apparatus and the Ha
vessels are described in references [6] and [7]*. Other vessels can be used, provided that
the calibration requirements in 6.2 are met.
5 Test sample
Tests shall be performed on samples in a state of preparation corresponding to that found
in practice under plant conditions.
Minimum ignition energy decreases with decreasing particle size. Tests shall be carried
out on samples having particle sizes that are consistent with, or finer than, the finest
material that can be present in the intended use.
For comparative tests the samples shall be prepared by a constant method with the object
of fixing particle size distribution and moisture content.
NOTE — Where the particle sizes of the material are not known, tests should be carried out on particle sizes
less than 63 µm.
Minimum ignition energy decreases with decreasing particle size. It should be checked
that the particle sizes of the sample are representative of the finest material that can
be present in the plant. Tests should be carried out on material of particle size less
than 63 pm.
6 Procedure
6.1 Brief description
The combustible dust to be tested is uniformly dispersed in air at atmospheric pressure
and temperature in a suitable apparatus, and the dust/air mixture is subjected to a spark
discharge from a charged capacitor.
The energy value of the discharge is calculated from the formula:
W = 0,5 C x Uz
where
Wis the stored energy in joules (J);
C is the total discharge capacitance, in farads (F);
U is the voltage of the charged capacitor in volts (V).
Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography, annex C.

1241-2-3 IEC:1994 -13 -
NOTES
1 At spark energies above 100 mJ, the spark resistance can become so small that the circuit resistance is
no longer negligible compared with the spark resistance, particularly when the circuit contains an inductance
coil of the order of 1 mH. In such cases the net spark energy can be obtained from the equation:
w= f 1(t) U(t)dt
where
is the spark current, and
1(t)
U(t) the spark voltage; both of which are obtained by measurement.
2 Further information relative to the calculation of spark energies is contained in annex A.
It is necessary to take account of the following possible influences on the test:
dust/air mixture aerodynamics (e.g. ignition delay time, dispersing pressure);
-
- dust concentration;
- voltage to which the capacitor is charged;
- capacitance of the capacitor;
- inductance of the discharge circuit;
ohmic resistance of the discharge circuit;
-
materials and dimensions of the electrodes and the gap between the electrodes.
-
To limit the expense of testing, every apparatus uses electrodes composed of a specific
material with standardized dimensions and minimum electrode gap. The ohmic resistance
of the discharge circuit shall be kept as low as possible (see clause 4).
Starting with a spark energy that will reliably cause ignition of the dust being tested, the
dust concentration and dust dispersion parameters (e.g. ignition delay time and dispersion
pressure) are adjusted to establish the most ignitable dust cloud. Using the optimal
conditions for ignition, the spark energy is successively halved, by adjusting the capa-
citance of the capacitor and/or the voltage to which it is charged, until no ignition occurs
in 20 successive tests.
NOTE - When tests are carried out using the 20 I sphere apparatus, the ignition delay time should be 120 ms.

6.2 Calibration
Calibration tests should be carried out on three reference dusts which shall have been
dried under atmospheric pressure at 50 °C for 24 h prior to the measurements.
The results shall be within the following ranges:
Wmin = 5 to 15 mJ, mean particle diameter 31 µm;

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.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard is one of a series produced to facilitate the use of communication
networks in industrial control systems.
IEC 61918:2010 provides the common requirements for the installation of communication
networks in industrial control systems. This installation profile standard provides the
installation profiles of the communication profiles (CP) of a specific communication profile
family (CPF) by stating which requirements of IEC 61918:2010 fully apply and, where
necessary, by supplementing, modifying, or replacing the other requirements (see Figure 1).
For general background on fieldbuses, their profiles, and relationship between the installation
profiles specified in this standard, see IEC/TR 61158-1.
Each CP installation profile is specified in a separate annex of this standard. Each annex is
structured exactly as the reference standard IEC 61918:2010 for the benefit of the persons
representing the roles in the fieldbus installation process as defined in IEC 61918:2010
(planner, installer, verification personnel, validation personnel, maintenance personnel,
administration personnel). By reading the installation profile in conjunction with
IEC 61918:2010, these persons immediately know which requirements are common for the
installation of all CPs and which are modified or replaced. The conventions used to draft this
standard are defined in Clause 5.
The provision of the installation profiles in one standard for each CPF (e.g. IEC 61784-5-2 for
CPF 2), allows readers to work with standards of a convenient size.

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.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard is one of a series produced to facilitate the use of communication
networks in industrial control systems.
IEC 61918:2010 provides the common requirements for the installation of communication
networks in industrial control systems. This installation profile standard provides the
installation profiles of the communication profiles (CP) of a specific communication profile
family (CPF) by stating which requirements of IEC 61918:2010 fully apply and, where
necessary, by supplementing, modifying, or replacing the other requirements (see Figure 1).
For general background on fieldbuses, their profiles, and relationship between the installation
profiles specified in this standard, see IEC/TR 61158-1.
Each CP installation profile is specified in a separate annex of this standard. Each annex is
structured exactly as the reference standard IEC 61918:2010 for the benefit of the persons
representing the roles in the fieldbus installation process as defined in IEC 61918:2010
(planner, installer, verification personnel, validation personnel, maintenance personnel,
administration personnel). By reading the installation profile in conjunction with
IEC 61918:2010, these persons immediately know which requirements are common for the
installation of all CPs and which are modified or replaced. The conventions used to draft this
standard are defined in Clause 5.
The provision of the installation profiles in one standard for each CPF (e.g. IEC 61784-5-2 for
CPF 2), allows readers to work with standards of a convenient size.
