Explosive atmospheres - Part 38: Equipment and components in explosive atmospheres in underground mines (ISO/IEC FDIS 80079-38:2015)
| Organization: | DS |
| Status: | pending |
| Page Count: | 67 |
| ICS Code (Electrical apparatus for explosive atmospheres): | 29.260.20 |
scope:
This International Standard specifies the explosion protection requirements for the design, construction, assessment and information for use (maintenance, repair, marking) of equipment that may be an individual item or form an assembly. This includes machinery and components placed on the market by a single supplier for use in mines susceptible to explosive atmospheres of firedamp and/or combustible dust. The standard atmospheric conditions (relating to the explosion characteristics of the atmosphere) under which it may be assumed that equipment can be operated are:
• temperature -20 °C to +60 °C;
• pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar); and
• air with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % v/v. This International Standard applies for equipment and components according to EPL Mb to be used in explosive atmospheres containing firedamp and/or combustible dust.
