Explosion resistant equipment
This standard specifies requirements for explosion-pressure-resistant and explosion pressure shock-resistant equipment. This standard is applicable to process vessels and systems. It is not applicable to individual items of equipment such as motors and gearboxes that may be designed to withstand an internal explosion, which are the subject of EN 13463-3.
This standard is valid for atmospheres having pressures ranging from 800 hPa to 1100 hPa and temperatures ranging from 20 °C to + 60 °C. This standard may also be helpful for the design, construction, testing and marking of equipment intended for use in atmospheres outside the validity range stated above, as far as this subject is not covered by specific standards.
This standard applies to equipment and combinations of equipment where deflagrations may occur and is not applicable to equipment and combination of equipment where detonation may occur. This standard should not be used for offshore applications.
It is essential that this standard be used for equipment made of metallic materials only.

La présente norme spécifie les exigences applicables aux appareils résistants à la pression d’explosion et à
ceux résistants au choc de pression d’explosion. La présente norme s’applique aux réacteurs et aux
systèmes. Elle ne s’applique pas aux pièces individuelles d’appareils comme les moteurs et boîtes
d’engrenages qui peuvent être conçus pour supporter une explosion intérieure et qui fait l’objet de l’EN 13463-3.
La présente norme concerne les atmosphères dont la pression est comprise entre 800 hPa et 1100 hPa et la
température entre - 20 °C et + 60 °C. Il est possible de s’aider de la présente norme lors de la conception, de
la construction, des essais et du marquage d’appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des atmosphères dont les
caractéristiques sont différentes de celles citées ci-dessus et ce, tant que le sujet ne fait pas l’objet de normes
spécifiques.
La présente norme s’applique aux appareils et combinaisons d’appareils dans lesquels peut se produire une
déflagration et n’est pas applicable aux appareils et combinaisons d’appareils dans lesquels peut se produire
une détonation. Il convient de ne pas utiliser la présente norme pour des applications en mer.
Il est essentiel de n’utiliser la présente norme qu’avec les appareils fabriqués à partir de matériaux
métalliques.

Foreword This document (EN 14460:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 305 “Potentially explosive atmospheres – Explosion prevention and protection”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2006. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 94/9/EC of 23 March 1994. For relationship with EU Directive 94/9/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

prevention of the ignition of the explosive atmospheres; and c) if an explosion nevertheless occurs, to halt it immediately and/or to limit the range of explosion flames and explosion pressures to a sufficient level of safety. It is essential that methods according to c) be used if the ignition hazard assessment of the equipment shows that the prevention of ignition sources, e.g. by using of types of ignition protection as defined in EN 13463 series, doesn't fulfil the requirements of the intended category which is necessary for the intended use of the equipment. This standard specifies requirements for equipment that shall be explosion resistant. Explosion resistance is the term applied to the construction of an enclosure so that it can withstand an expected explosion pressure without rupture. Giving equipment this property it limits the range of explosion flames and explosion pressures to a sufficient level of safety.
The equipment property "explosion resistance" can be used for equipment, protective systems and components. SIST EN 14460:2006

In general, a distinction is made between the following designs: design for the maximum explosion pressure; design for the reduced explosion pressure in conjunction with explosion pressure relief or explosion suppression. Components of the system can be either explosion-pressure-resistant or explosion-pressure shock resistant.

Explosion-pressure-shock resistant equipment Figure 1 — Explosion resistant equipment 4.2 Design pressure The design pressure shall not be less than the maximum gauge pressure occurring in the equipment, when subjected to explosion or reduced explosion conditions. The design pressure shall be used as the calculation pressure as detailed in EN 13445-3. NOTE 1 If the inside of the equipment is divided into sections (e.g. tanks connected by a pipeline or containing baffles or surge plates), during an explosion in one of the sections the pressure in the other sections of the equipment will be increased. As a result, an explosion in these sections will occur at an elevated initial pressure. Further, pressure peaks occur which are higher than the value expected under atmospheric conditions. In the case of such arrangements, appropriate measures should be taken, either explosion de-coupling techniques or explosion resistant design derived from representative explosion trials.
