Design of fans working in potentially explosive atmospheres
1.1 This European Standard specifies the constructional requirements for fans constructed to Group II G (of explosion groups IIA, IIB and hydrogen) categories 1, 2 and 3, and Group II D categories 2 and 3, intended for use in explosive atmospheres.
NOTE Operation conditions for the different categories of fans used in this European Standard are defined in Clause 4.
1.2 This European Standard does not apply to group I fans (fans for mining), cooling fans or impellers on rotating electrical machines, cooling fans or impellers on internal combustion engines.
NOTE 1 Requirements for group I fans are given in EN 1710.
NOTE 2 The requirements for electrical parts are covered by references to electrical equipment standards.
1.3 This European Standard specifies requirements for design, construction, testing and marking of complete fan units intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in air containing gas, vapour, mist and/or dusts. Such atmospheres may exist inside (the conveyed fluid), outside, or inside and outside of the fan.
1.4 This European Standard is applicable to fans working in the range of ambient atmospheres having absolute pressures ranging from 0,8 bar to 1,1 bar, temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 60 °C, maximum volume fraction of 21 % oxygen content and an aerodynamic energy increase of less than 25 kJ/kg.
NOTE 1 This European Standard may also be helpful for the design, construction, testing and marking of fans intended for use in atmospheres outside the validity range stated above or in cases where other material pairings need to be used. In this case, the ignition risk assessment, ignition protection provided, additional testing (if necessary), manufacturer's marking, technical documentation and instructions to the user, should clearly demonstrate and indicate the equipment's suitability for the conditions the fan may encounter.
NOTE 2 This European Standard does not apply to integral fans of electric motors.

Konstruktion von Ventilatoren für den Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen
Diese Norm legt die baulichen Anforderungen an Ventilatoren der Gruppe II G Kategorien 1, 2 und 3, und Gruppe II D Kategorien 2 und 3 für die Verwendung in explosionsfähigen Atmosphären fest.
Betriebsbedingungen für die verschiedenen Kategorien von Ventilatoren, die von dieser Norm erfasst werden, sind in Abschnitt 4 definiert.
Diese Norm ist nicht anwendbar auf Ventilatoren für die Verwendung im Zusammenhang mit Gasen der Gruppe II C, die im Anhang zu EN 50014 verzeichnet sind.
Diese Norm ist nicht anwendbar auf Gruppe I Ventilatoren (Ventilatoren für den Bergbau), Kühlgebläse oder Flügelräder für drehende elektrische Maschinen, Kühlgebläse oder Flügelräder für Verbrennungsmotoren .
ANMERKUNG 1 Anforderung an Gruppe I Ventilatoren sind in EN 1710 enthalten.
Diese Norm legt Anforderungen an Konstruktion, Bau, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung kompletter Ventilator-Einheiten fest, die für den Einsatz in explosionsfähiger Atmosphäre, die durch Gase, Dämpfe, Nebel und/oder Staub entsteht, bestimmt sind. Solche Atmosphären können innerhalb, außerhalb, oder innerhalb und außerhalb des Ventilators existieren.
Diese Norm gilt für Ventilatoren, die in umgebenden Atmosphären mit einem absoluten Druck von 0,8 bar bis 1,1 bar, Temperaturen von - 20 °C bis + 60 °C und maximal 21 % Volumenanteil Sauerstoff bei einer aerodynamischen Energie-Zunahme von weniger als 25 kJ/kg arbeiten.
ANMERKUNG 2 Diese Norm kann auch hilfreich sein für Konstruktion, Bau, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung von Ventilatoren, die für den Einsatz in Atmosphären bestimmt sind, die nicht in den Gültigkeitsbereich dieser Norm fallen. In diesem Fall sollte durch Bewertung des Zündrisikos, der vorgeschlagenen Zündschutzart, der zusätzlichen Prüfung (falls erforderlich), der Hersteller-Kennzeichnung, der technischen Dokumentation und Betriebsanweisungen dem Benutzer die Eignung der Ventilatoren eindeutig dargestellt und nachgewiesen werden.

NOTE This European Standard deals only with the prevention of ignition of an explosive atmosphere by the fan. Other safety features will need to be incorporated into the construction to meet the requirements of other EU Directives. For example by incorporating the principles of EN ISO 12100 for preventing mechanical hazards, (e.g. guarding to prevent persons contacting rotating parts, sharp edges). 4.2 Ignition hazard assessment 4.2.1 General A list of hazards which can occur is given in Annex D. Where additional hazards could occur an ignition hazard assessment according to EN 13463-1 shall be carried out. SIST EN 14986:2007
For the purposes of fans made according to this European Standard failures (such as a breakdown of seals, flange gaskets or releases of substances caused by accidents) which involve repair or shut-down are not considered to be part of normal operation. 4.2.3 Expected malfunction An expected malfunction shall be considered to be a failure or fault in a fan which normally occurs in practice. In addition an expected malfunction shall be considered to occur when a fan or its components do not perform their intended functions. For the purposes of fans made according to this European Standard this can happen for a variety of reasons, including: a) variation of a property or of a dimension of the processed material or of the work piece (e.g. warping of the casing); b) disturbance to or failure of the power supply or other services; c) unnoticed long time operation with defect bearing and leading to contact between impeller and housing; d) release of the impeller by vibrations where the impeller is only pressed on the shaft. 4.2.4 Rare malfunction A rare malfunction is a type of malfunction which is known to happen but only in rare instances. Two independent expected malfunctions which, se
