– the use of the product with additional measure within explosive atmospheres. These are
given in IEC 60079 series;
– embedded software design rules1;
– cyber security aspects. These are covered by IEC 62443 series.
The objective of this document is to state:
a) the characteristics of the equipment;
b) the conditions applicable to the equipment with reference to:
1) its operation and behaviour,
2) its dielectric properties,
3) its degree of protection,
4) its construction including safety measures against electric shock, fire hazard and
mechanical hazard;
c) the tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met, and the methods to
be adopted for these tests;
d) the information to be given with the equipment or in the manufacturer's literature.
