Non-electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres - Part 2: Protection by flow restricting enclosure 'fr'

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the construction and testing of flow restricting enclosures for non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres if the atmosphere outside the enclosure becomes explosive rarely and for short durations only.
This standard supplements the requirements in EN 13463-1 the contents of which apply in full to equipment constructed in accordance with this standard.
Equipment complying with this standard meets the requirements of Group II - Category 3 equipment. The type of ignition protection described in this standard is unsuitable for use in combination with another type of protection to produce equipment of any other category than category 3.

EN 13463-2:2004 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13463-2:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 305 “Potentially explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2005. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 94/9/EC of 23 March 1994.

EN 13463-2:2004 (E) 4 Introduction An explosive atmosphere surrounding an enclosure can penetrate it mainly due to the influence of three mechanisms:  ventilation;  equalisation of pressure differences between the inside and outside (breathing);  diffusion. If such an enclosure is effectively sealed, but not necessarily gas-tight, it can be assumed that ventilation and diffusion will not cause a significant short-time exchange of atmosphere. Under these conditions, an exchange of the external and internal atmospheres through the seals will only take place if there is a pressure difference across them. Such pressure differences may be caused by changes in temperature and will result in the enclosure "breathing" but will not cause a significant flow of explosive atmosphere into or through the enclosure. Experience has shown that even simple enclosures can prevent a surrounding explosive atmosphere from reaching ignition sources inside them. Flow restricting enclosures are such simple enclosures, which will prevent, with adequate probability, the atmosphere inside the enclosures becoming explosive if the atmosphere outside the enclosure becomes explosive rarely and for short durations only. For this reason their use is restricted to the fulfilment of category 3 requirements. This document is a type B standard as described in EN 1070.



EN 13463-2:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies the requirements for the construction and testing of flow restricting enclosures for non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres if the atmosphere outside the enclosure becomes explosive rarely and for short durations only. This document supplements the requirements in EN 13463-1 the contents of which apply in full to equipment constructed in accordance with this document. Equipment complying with this standard meets the requirements of Group II – Category 3 equipment. The type of ignition protection described in this standard is unsuitable for use in combination with another type of protection to produce equipment of any other category than category 3. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 13463-1:2001, Non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres — Part 1: Basic method and requirements. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13463-1:2001 and the following apply. protection by flow restricting enclosure type of ignition protection which, by means of an enclosure, reduces the probability of ingress of a surrounding explosive atmosphere into the enclosure to an acceptably low level so that the concentration inside the enclosure is below the lower explosive limit 4 General 4.1 General requirements The requirements of this document apply in addition to the requirements of EN 13463-1. Flow restricting enclosures used to protect Group II Category 3 equipment may contain ignition sources which occur during normal operation provided the enclosure itself is not an ignition source. The type of protection shall not be used if the ignition source is an open flame. 4.2 Determination of suitability The equipment manufacturers ignition hazard assessment required by EN 13463-1 shall have determined that protection by flow restricting enclosure is appropriate to achieve the level of protection required by Group II Category 3 equipment. NOTE Equipment manufacturer means the manufacturer who applies flow restricting enclosures to protect the equipment that may contain ignitions sources under normal operation. It is not the manufacturer of the empty enclosure.



EN 13463-2:2004 (E) 6 5 Specific requirements and limitations 5.1 Nature of ignition source Protection by flow restricting enclosures may be applied in the following circumstance: a) Enclosures containing mechanical sparks, and other ignition sources in normal operation but with a limitation in dissipated power such that the averaged air temperature within the enclosure does not exceed the external ambient temperature by more than 10 K. However the internal air temperature may exceed the external ambient
