Electrical apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible gases, toxic gases or oxygen - Requirements and tests for apparatus using software and/or digital technologies
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements and tests for electrical apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible gases, toxic gases or oxygen using software and/or digital technologies. This European Standard is applicable to fixed, transportable and portable apparatus intended for use in domestic premises as well as commercial and industrial applications. This European Standard does not apply to external sampling systems, or to apparatus of laboratory or scientific type, or to apparatus used only for process control purposes. This European Standard supplements the requirements of the European Standards for the detection and measurement of flammable gases and vapours (e.g. EN 60079 29 1, EN 60079-29-4, EN 50194 1, EN 50194 2), toxic gases (e.g. EN 45544 series, EN 50291 1, EN 50291 2) or oxygen (e.g. EN 50104). NOTE 1 These European Standards will be mentioned in this European Standard as "metrological standards". NOTE 2 The examples above show the state of the standardisation for gas detection apparatus at the time of publishing this European Standard. There may be other metrological standards for which this European Standard is also applicable. This European Standard is a product standard which is based on EN 61508 series. It covers part of the phase 10 "realisation" of the overall safety life cycle defined in EN 61508 1. Additional requirements are specified if compliance with safety integrity level 1 (SIL 1) according to EN 61508 series is claimed for fixed or transportable apparatus for low demand mode of operation. NOTE 3 Compliance with safety integrity level 1 (SIL 1) for portable apparatus is not considered because portable apparatus cannot make an automatic executive action. It is recommended to apply this European Standard for apparatus used for safety applications with SIL-requirement 1 instead of EN 50402. However, the technical requirements of EN 50271 and EN 50402 are the same for SIL 1. NOTE 4 For apparatus used for safety applications with SIL-requirements higher than 1 EN 50402 is applicable.

Introduction
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for functional safety of gas detection
apparatus using software and/or digital technologies and defines criteria for reliability and avoidance of
faults. Functional safety is that part of the overall safety which is related to the measures within the
gas detection apparatus to avoid or to handle failures in such a manner that the safety function will be
ensured.
Gas detection apparatus will fail to function if dangerous failures occur. The aim of this European
Standard is to reduce the risk of dangerous equipment failures to levels appropriate to typical
applications of such apparatus.
Failure to function will also occur if such apparatus are not selected, installed or maintained in an
appropriate manner. In some applications failures of this type will dominate the functional safety
achieved. Users of gas detection apparatus will therefore need to ensure that selection, installation
and maintenance of such apparatus are carried out appropriately. Guidance for the selection,
installation, use and maintenance of gas detection apparatus are set out in EN 60079-29-2 and
EN 45544-4, respectively.
This European Standard does not include requirements for operational availability which will need to
be considered separately.
Regarding the requirements for the software development process, this European Standard specifies
a practical approach to comply with the requirements of EN 61508-3 for SIL 1 without using this
generic standard.
This European standard also specifies additional optional requirements for compliance with SIL 1 in
low demand mode operation. The following apparatus or gas detection systems are not fully covered
by this standard:
– apparatus at SIL 1 when the apparatus or gas detection system contains functionality not covered
by EN 50271
– apparatus at SIL 1 high demand mode operation
– apparatus at SIL 2 and SIL 3;
For such apparatus or gas detection systems the European standard EN 50402 should be used
instead of EN 50271. EN 50402 includes all requirements of EN 50271.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements and tests for electrical apparatus for the
detection and measurement of combustible gases, toxic gases or oxygen using software and/or digital
technologies.
This European Standard is applicable to fixed, transportable and portable apparatus intended for use
in domestic premises as well as commercial and industrial applications and their software-controlled
safety related accessories.
This European Standard does not apply to external sampling systems which are not accessories, or to
apparatus of laboratory or scientific type, or to apparatus used only for process control purposes.
This European Standard supplements the requirements of the European Standards for the detection
and measurement of flammable gases and vapours (e.g. EN 60079-29-1, EN 60079-29-4, EN 50194-
1, EN 50194-2), toxic gases (e.g. EN 45544 series, EN 50291-1, EN 50291-2) or oxygen (e.g.
EN 50104).
NOTE 1 These European Standards will be mentioned in this European Standard as “metrological standards”.
NOTE 2 The examples above show the state of the standardization for gas detection apparatus at the time of
publishing this European Standard. There may be other metrological standards for which this European Standard
is also applicable.
This European Standard is a product standard which is based on the EN 61508 series. It covers part
of the phase 10 “realisation” of the overall safety life cycle defined in EN 61508-1.
Additional requirements are specified if compliance with safety integrity level 1 (SIL 1) according to the
EN 61508 series is claimed for fixed or transportable apparatus for low demand mode of operation.
They can also be applied to portable apparatus which are able to perform an automatic executive
action.
It is recommended to apply this European Standard for apparatus used for safety applications with
SIL-requirement 1 instead of EN 50402. However, the technical requirements of EN 50271 and
EN 50402 are the same for SIL 1.
NOTE 3 For apparatus used for safety applications with SIL-requirements higher than 1 EN 50402 is applicable.
