Explosive atmospheres - Part 19: Equipment repair, overhaul and reclamation (IEC 60079-19:2025)

IEC 60079-19:2025 applies to service facilities and covers only those factors related to overhaul, repair or reclamation of Ex Equipment specifically designed for hazardous areas, where the hazard is caused by explosive atmospheres. Ex Equipment can be overhauled, repaired or reclaimed to mitigate deficiencies identified during operation, inspection and maintenance.
It does not include:
• advice on cable and wiring systems which can require a renewal when the equipment is re-installed;
• Repair or overhaul of Type of Protection “m”;
• Repair or overhaul of Ex Components;
• Requirements for manufacturers who overhaul and repair equipment which they have manufactured
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
Users of this document are advised that interpretation sheets clarifying the interpretation of this document can be published. Interpretation sheets are available from the IEC webstore and can be found in the “history” tab of the page for each document.
The significance of changes between IEC 60079-19, Edition 5 (2025) and IEC 60079-19, Edition 4 (2019) are as listed in the foreword of this standard.

Atmosphères explosives - Partie 19: Réparation, révision et remise en état de l’appareil (IEC 60079-19:2025)

IEC 60079-19:2025 s’applique aux ateliers de service et couvre uniquement les facteurs liés à la révision, la réparation ou la remise en état des appareils Ex spécialement conçus pour les emplacements dangereux, où le danger provient des atmosphères explosives. L’appareil Ex peut être révisé, réparé ou remis en état de manière à atténuer les déficiences identifiées en fonctionnement et lors d’opérations d’inspection et de maintenance.
Le présent document ne comprend pas:
• de conseils sur les systèmes de câblage qui peuvent exiger un renouvellement quand l’appareil est réinstallé;
• la réparation ou la révision pour le mode de protection "m";
• la réparation ou la révision pour des composants Ex;
• d’exigences pour les fabricants qui révisent et réparent l’appareil qu’ils ont fabriqué.
Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2019. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente se trouvent en avant-propos.
