Explosive atmospheres -- Part 29-1: Gas detectors - Performance requirements of detectors for flammable gases
Explosive atmospheres -- Part 29-1: Gas detectors - Performance requirements of detectors for flammable gases
This part of IEC 60079-29 specifies general requirements for construction, testing and performance, and describes the test methods that apply to portable, transportable and fixed apparatus for the detection and measurement of flammable gas or vapour concentrations with air. The apparatus, or parts thereof, are intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (see 3.1.8) and in mines susceptible to firedamp. This standard is also applicable when an apparatus manufacturer makes any claims regarding any special features of construction or superior performance that exceed these minimum requirements. In these cases, all such claims should be verified and the test procedures should be extended or supplemented, where necessary, to verify the performance claimed by the manufacturer. When verifying the superior performance of one criterion, other performance criteria are not required to meet the standards minimum requirements, however, these reduced claimed performance criteria (as confirmed in the manufactures Installation Manual) should also be verified. (e.g. temperature range of 0 °C to 60 °C; 0 °C to 40 °C at ±10 % accuracy and 40 °C to 60 °C at ±15 % (manufacturers claimed accuracy). The additional tests should be agreed between the manufacturer and test laboratory and identified and described in the test report. This standard is applicable to flammable gas detection apparatus intended to provide an indication, alarm or other output function; the purpose of which is to give a warning of a potential explosion hazard and in some cases, to initiate automatic or manual protective action(s). This standard is applicable to apparatus, including the integral sampling systems of aspirated apparatus, intended to be used for commercial, industrial and non-residential safety applications. This 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. It also does not apply to open path (line of sight) area monitors. For apparatus used for sensing the presence of multiple gases, this standard applies only to the detection of flammable gas or vapour. 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 IEC 60079-29-1 will take precedence.

combustible gases to be used in industrial and commercial potentially explosive atmospheres, of
Technical Committee CENELEC TC 31, Electrical apparatus for explosive atmospheres, containing
common modifications to document 31/695/FDIS was submitted to the formal vote.
The combined texts of document 31/695/FDIS and the draft amendment prAA were approved by
CENELEC as EN 60079-29-1 on 2007-11-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61779-1:2000 + A11:2004, EN 61779-2:2000,
EN 61779-3:2000, EN 61779-4:2000 and EN 61779-5:2000.
The main changes with respect to the EN 61779 series are listed below:
– Subclause 4.2.3 (Alarm or output functions) was modified to ensure alarm devices cannot be
adjustable outside their measuring range and to include requirements for de-activation of alarm
devices;
– Subclause 4.2.7 (Stand-alone gas detection apparatus for use with separate control units) was added
to allow separate evaluation of detection apparatus providing an industry recognized output signal;
– Subclause 4.2.8 (Separate control units for use with stand-alone gas detection apparatus) was added
to allow separate evaluation of control unit apparatus using an industry recognized input signal;
– Subclause 4.2.9 (Software-controlled apparatus) was added to the document for improved evaluation
of software. The added text is based upon the guiding principles and requirements of EN 50271;
– Subclause 5.2.1.1 was modified to require the center wavelength of the optical filters of two apparatus
at the minimum and maximum limit of this standard;
– Subclause 5.2.1.2 was modified to allow the order of testing within each block to be conducted at the
discretion of the test laboratory;
– Subclause 5.3.11 (Communications options) was added to ensure maximum transaction rates are
applied during testing;
– Subclause 5.3.12 (Gas detection apparatus as part of systems) was added to ensure maximum
transaction rates are applied during testing;
– Subclause 5.4.6 (Alarm set point(s)) was modified to include text related to alarms that are activated at
decreasing concentrations;
– Subclause 5.4.10 (Air velocity) was modified to include testing at 3 m/s and 6 m/s;
– Subclause 5.4.16 (Time of response) was modified to exclude recovery time test requirements for
Group II apparatus with a volume fraction up to 100 % LFL indication;
– Subclause 5.4.18 (High gas concentration operation above the measuring range) was modified to
define the sequence of tests;
– Annex A (Performance requirements) has undergone major modifications by eliminating the
gas/vapour table and replacing the annex with the performance requirements of Parts 2 to 5 of
EN 61779. Additionally, performance requirements of Parts 2 to 5 of EN 61779 were adjusted for
consistency as appropriate. The intent of this change is to condense Parts 1 to 5 of EN 61779 within a
single standard.

Performance requirements of detectors for flammable gases
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60079-29-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 31:
Equipment for explosive atmospheres.
This first edition of IEC 60079-29-1 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61779-1 to
IEC 61779-5:1998 series and constitutes a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
– Subclause 4.2.3 (Alarm or output functions) was modified to ensure alarm devices can not
be adjustable outside their measuring range and to include requirements for de-activation
of alarm devices.
– Subclause 4.2.7 (Stand-alone gas detection apparatus for use with separate control units)
was added to allow separate evaluation of detection apparatus providing an industry
recognized output signal.
