This European Standard prescribes the specific requirements related to the risk of a gas explosions for the construction and testing of caplights for use in mines susceptible to firedamp (electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmosphere of group I). These specific requirements are supplemented by the following requirements which apply also to caplights for mines susceptible to firedamp: electrostatic charges of enclosures of plastic material and (permitted light alloys for enclosures) of EN 50014;internal connections, solid insulating materials and internal wiring of EN 50019

Frequently Asked Questions

An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.

Directive 94/44/EC covers "Adaptation to technical progress of Directive 82/130/EEC". There are 6 standards associated with this directive.

Harmonized standards under 94/44/EC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 94/44/EC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
