6.5 Electrical parts of the control
6.5.1 General
Shall be according to EN 13611:2019, 6.5.1 with the following addition:
Addition:

A method for the assessment of EPSDs is defined in 6.6. In the instructions shall be declared the class of

control function according to the intended application.

For EPSD technologies not specified in this standard, a safety analysis shall be performed to describe

the specific failure modes, requirements and tests for the type of technology in addition to the relevant

requirements in this standard. This safety analysis can result in additional constructional requirements

and/or additional failure modes to be included into the fault assessment. Together with the relevant

requirements of this standard, this is a set of conditions under which the new technology can be used in

an EPSD.

NOTE In general the basic risk of fire and/or explosion as a result of uncontrolled gas or air pressures and

gas/air ratios is considered as a class C risk.
