Explosive atmospheres - Part 29-3: Gas detectors - Guidance on functional safety of fixed gas detection systems ( IEC 60079-29-3:2014)
EN IEC 60079-29-3 gives guidance for the design and implementation of a fixed gas detection system, including associated and/or peripheral gas detection equipment, for the detection of flammable gases/vapours and Oxygen when used in a safety-related application in accordance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511. This International standard also applies to the detection of toxic gases. Other parts of this international standard and pertinent local, national and international standards separately specify the performance requirements of a gas detector and a gas detection control unit (logic solver). These standards are commonly known as Metrological Performance Standards and are concerned with the accuracy of the measured value, the overall system performance, but not the device or system integrity with respect to the safety function. This international standard applies to the integrity of the safety function. This international standard sets out safety-related considerations of fixed gas detection systems, including associated and/or peripheral gas detection equipment in terms of the framework and philosophy of IEC 61508, and introduces the particular requirements demanded by a fixed gas detection system as shown in Figure 2. This international standard does not consider the Safety Integrity Level SIL 4. SIL 4 is assumed to be unrealistic to be achieved for gas detection systems. This international standard is applicable for fixed gas detection systems, which might consist of the following hardware functional units - Gas sensor/transmitter - Gas detection control unit (logic solver) - Gas sampling (single and multiplexed streams) - Gas conditioning - Automatic gas calibration and adjustment - Output module (if not part of the control unit).

L'IEC 60079-29-3:2014 donne des recommandations sur la conception et la mise en oeuvre d'un système fixe de détection de gaz, comprenant des équipements associés et/ou périphériques de détection de gaz, permettant de détecter des gaz/vapeurs inflammables et de l'oxygène dans le cadre d'une application relative à la sécurité conformément à l'IEC 61508 et à l'IEC 61511. La présente Norme internationale s'applique aussi à la détection des gaz toxiques. Les autres parties de la présente Norme internationale et les normes locales, nationales et internationales pertinentes spécifient séparément les exigences de performance d'un détecteur de gaz et d'une unité de commande de détection de gaz (unité logique). Ces normes sont généralement appelées Normes de Performances Métrologiques et traitent de la précision de la valeur mesurée, des performances globales du système, mais pas de l'intégrité du dispositif ou du système par rapport à la fonction de sécurité. La présente Norme internationale s'applique à l'intégrité de la fonction de sécurité. Mots clés: système fixe de détection de gaz, gaz/vapeurs inflammables et de l'oxygène, détection des gaz toxiques
Eksplozivne atmosfere - 29-3. del: Plinski detektorji - Navodilo o funkcijski varnosti fiksnih sistemov za odkrivanje plina (IEC 60079-29-3:2014)
Standard EN IEC 60079-29-3 zagotavlja smernice za načrtovanje in izvajanje fiksnih sistemov za odkrivanje plina, vključno z dodatno in/ali periferno opremo za odkrivanje plina, za odkrivanje vnetljivih plinov/hlapov in kisika pri uporabi v varnostnih pripravah v skladu s standardoma IEC 61508 in IEC 61511. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja tudi za odkrivanje strupenih plinov. Drugi deli tega mednarodnega standarda in ustrezni lokalni, nacionalni in mednarodni standardi ločeno določajo zahteve glede zmogljivosti detektorja plina in nadzorne enote za odkrivanje plina (logic solver). Ti standardi so znani kot standardi meroslovnega delovanja ter obravnavajo točnost izmerjenih vrednosti in splošno delovanje sistema, ne pa celovite varnostne funkcije naprave ali sistema. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za integriteto varnostne funkcije. Ta mednarodni standard določa z varnostjo povezane dejavnike fiksnih sistemov za odkrivanje plina, vključno z dodatno in/ali periferno opremo za odkrivanje plina, z vidika ogrodja in filozofije standarda IEC 61508 in uvaja določene zahteve, ki jih zahteva sistem za odkrivanje plina na sliki 2. Ta mednarodni standard ne obravnava stopnje 4 integritete varnostnega sistema (SIL). Predpostavlja se, da integritete varnostnega sistema stopnje 4 pri sistemih za odkrivanje plina ni mogoče doseči. Ta mednarodni standard velja za fiksne sisteme za odkrivanje plina, ki jih lahko sestavljajo naslednje funkcijske enote strojne opreme: – senzor plina/oddajnik, – nadzorna enota za odkrivanje plina (logic solver), – vzorčenje plina (enojni tok in multipleksirani tokovi), – kondicioniranje plinov, – samodejna kalibracija in prilagajanje plinov, – izhodni modul (če ni del nadzorne enote).

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.

INTRODUCTION
Fixed gas detection systems have been used for many years to perform safety instrumented
functions. Like any instrumented system, a fixed gas detection system commonly comprises
of a single or multiple gas detector input(s), a control unit and a single or multiple final
element(s) or output(s). Additional peripheral equipment may be incorporated into a fixed gas
detection system e.g. a gas sampling system or a gas conditioning system. If a fixed gas
detection system, including any relevant peripheral equipment is to be effectively used for
safety instrumented functions, it is essential that the total system achieves certain minimum
standards and performance levels.
It is important to understand that the number of sensing points and their appropriate location,
their redundancy, the management of regular maintenance, specifically response checking or
calibration, and other gas detection specific features (such as design of gas sampling
systems) are all likely to have a far greater effect on the integrity of the overall Safety
Instrumented System (SIS) than the required Safety Integrity Level (SIL) or SIL-capability of
any of the individual functional units. This, however, does not exclude the requirement for
each Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) to have a stand-alone functional integrity.
This international standard addresses the minimum standards and performance levels of a
fixed gas detection system which is based on the use of electrical, electronic or
programmable electronic systems (E/E/PES) for any application where there is either a risk
reduction target stated o
