Explosive atmospheres - Part 26: Equipment with Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga

Explosive atmospheres - Part 26: Equipment with Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga

NEW! IEC 60079-26:2014 is available as IEC Standards+ 60079-26:2014 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 60079-26:2014 specifies alternative requirements for construction, test and marking for electrical equipment that provides Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga when single standardised Types of Protection (e.g. Ex "ia", Ex "ma", Ex "da") cannot be applied. This standard also applies to equipment mounted across a boundary where different Equipment Protection Levels may be required. This electrical equipment, within the operational parameters specified by the manufacturer, ensures a very high Level of Protection that includes rare malfunctions related to the equipment or two malfunctions occurring independently of each other. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision. The numerous changes are identified in the Foreword of the document. Keywords: Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga

NEW! IEC 60079-26:2014 est disponible sous forme de IEC Standards+ 60079-26:2014 qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente. L'IEC 60079-26:2014 spécifie les exigences alternatives relatives à la construction, aux essais et au marquage du matériel électrique fournissant le niveau de protection du matériel (EPL, Equipment Protection Level) Ga lorsque des types normalisés uniques de Protection (comme par ex. Ex "ia", Ex "ma", Ex "da") ne peuvent pas être appliqués. La présente norme s'applique au matériel installé en chevauchement sur des emplacements pour lesquels différents niveaux de protection du matériel peuvent être exigés.Ce matériel électrique assure, dans les limites des paramètres de fonctionnement spécifiés par le constructeur, un très haut niveau de protection prenant en compte le cas de rares dysfonctionnements liés au matériel, ou d'apparition simultanée de deux dysfonctionnements indépendants l'un de l'autre. La présente norme complète et modifie les exigences générales de l'IEC 60079-0. Lorsqu'une exigence de la présente norme entre en contradiction avec une exigence de l'IEC 60079-0, l'exigence de la présente norme prévaut. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2006 et constitue une révision technique. Les nombreux changements sont identifiés dans l'avant-propos du document. Mots clés: protection du matériel (EPL) Ga

Eksplozivne atmosfere - 26. del: Oprema s stopnjo zaščite opreme Ga (IEC 60079-26:2014)

Ta del standarda IEC 60079 določa nadomestne zahteve za izdelavo, preskušanje in označevanje električne opreme, ki zagotavlja stopnjo zaščite opreme (ELP) Ga, če ni mogoče uporabiti enotne standardizirane vrste zaščite (npr. Ex »ia« , Ex »ma«, Ex »da«). Ta standard velja tudi za opremo, nameščeno prek meje, kjer sta lahko zahtevani dve različni stopnji zaščite.
PRIMER: Oprema, nameščena v steni posode za shranjevanje, ki vsebuje cono 0, (zahtevan ELP Ga) v območju, ki je določeno kot cona 1 (zahtevan ELP Gb).
Ta električna oprema zagotavlja, v okviru parametrov delovanja, ki jih je določil proizvajalec, zelo visoko stopnjo zaščite, ki zajema redke okvare, povezane z opremo, ali dve okvari, ki se pojavita neodvisno druga od druge.
OPOMBA Okvara je lahko posledica napake sestavnih delov električne opreme ali pričakovanih zunanjih vplivov. Dve neodvisni okvari, ki lahko nastaneta bolj pogosto in ki vsaka posebej ne bi povzročili nevarnosti vžiga, vendar pa bi obe skupaj lahko povzročili morebitno nevarnost vžiga, se obravnavata, kot da sta se pripetili hkrati in povzročili redko okvaro.
Ta standard dopolnjuje in spreminja splošne zahteve standarda IEC 60079-0. Kadar je zahteva iz tega standarda v nasprotju z zahtevo iz standarda IEC 60079-0, ima prednost zahteva iz tega standarda.

Workplace atmospheres - Part 1: Gas detectors - Performance requirements of detectors for toxic gases
SIST EN IEC 62990-1:2023/A11:2023

This part of IEC 62990 specifies general requirements for design, function and performance, and describes the test methods that apply to portable, transportable, and fixed equipment for the detection and concentration measurement of toxic gases and vapours in workplace atmospheres and other industrial and commercial applications. This document is applicable to continuously sensing equipment whose primary purpose is to provide an indication, alarm and/or other output function the purpose of which is to indicate the presence of a toxic gas or vapour in the atmosphere and in some cases to initiate automatic or manual protective action(s). It is applicable to equipment in which the sensor generates an electrical signal when gas is present. This document applies to two types of equipment: • Type HM (Health Monitoring) ‘occupational exposure’ equipment: For occupational exposure measurement, the performance requirements are focused on uncertainty of measurement of gas concentrations in the region of Occupational Exposure Limit Values (OELV). The upper limit of measurement will be defined by the manufacturer in accordance with 4.2.1. • Type SM (Safety Monitoring) ‘general gas detection’ equipment: For general gas detection applications (e.g. safety warning, leak detection), the performance requirements are focused on alarm signalling. The upper limit of measurement will be defined by the manufacturer according to the intended use of the equipment. In general, the requirements for accuracy will be higher for Type HM equipment than for Type SM equipment. The same equipment may meet the requirements of both Type HM and Type SM. For equipment used for sensing the presence of multiple gases this document applies only to the detection of toxic gas or vapour. This document is not applicable to equipment: - with samplers and concentrators such as sorbents or paper tape having an irreversible indication; - used for the measurement of gases and vapours related to the risk of explosion; - used for the measurement of oxygen; – used only in laboratories for analysis or measurement; - used only for process measurement purposes; - used in the domestic environment; - used in environmental air pollution monitoring; - used for open-path (line of sight) area gas measurement; - used for ventilation control in car parks or tunnels.
