La présente norme complète et modifie les exigences générales de la CEI 60079-0 et de la norme de sécurité intrinsèque CEI 60079-11. En cas de contradiction entre une exigence de la présente norme et une exigence de la CEI 60079-0 ou de la CEI 60079-11, l'exigence de la présente norme prévaut. La présente norme complète la CEI 60079-11 pour les exigences qui s'appliquent aux matériels électriques utilisés dans des systèmes électriques de sécurité intrinsèque. Les exigences d'installation pour un système de Groupe II ou de Groupe III conçus en accord avec la présente norme sont spécifiées dans la CEI 60079-14. Les changements importants par rapport à l'édition précédente sont: - extension du domaine d'application du Groupe II aux Groupes I, II et III; - introduction du niveau de protection 'ic'; - ajout d'exigences pour les câbles et les câbles multiconducteurs; - référence à la CEI 60079-11 pour ce qui concerne les bornes des circuits de sécurité intrinsèque; - exigences pour l'évaluation d'un système à sécurité étendues et clarifiées pour le niveau de protection 'ic', les matériels simples et les défauts dans les câbles multiconducteurs; - introduction de systèmes prédéfinis et regroupement des exigences pour les FISCO de la CEI 60079-27; - ajout d'exigences pour les systèmes simples à sécurité intrinsèque contenant à la fois des inductances localisées et des capacités localisées; - ajout d'une méthode d'essai pour les paramètres électriques des câbles; - ajout d'informations pour l'utilisation des matériels simples dans les systèmes.

Part 25: Intrinsically safe electrical systems
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. 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 60079-25 has been prepared by subcommittee 31G: Intrinsically safe apparatus, of IEC technical committee 31: Equipment for explosive atmospheres. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003 and constitutes a thorough technical revision. The significant changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: • extension of the scope from Group II to Groups I, II and III; • introduction of level of protection “ic”; • addition of requirements for cables and multi-core cables; • reference to IEC 60079-11 regarding the termination of intrinsically safe circuits • requirements for the assessment of an expanded and clarified intrinsically safe system regarding level of protection “ic”, simple apparatus and faults in multi-core cables; SIST EN 60079-25:2010

The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 31G/202/FDIS 31G/203/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts of IEC 60079 series, under the general title Explosive atmospheres, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be • reconfirmed, • withdrawn, • replaced by a revised edition, or • amended.

Part 25: Intrinsically safe electrical systems
1 Scope This part of IEC 60079 contains the specific requirements for construction and assessment of intrinsically safe electrical systems, type of protection “i”, intended for use, as a whole or in part, in locations in which the use of Group I, II or III apparatus is required. NOTE 1 This standard is intended for use by the designer of the system who may be a manufacturer, a specialist consultant or a member of the end-user’s staff. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0 and the intrinsic safety standard IEC 60079-11. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0 or IEC 60079-11, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. This standard supplements IEC 60079-11, the requirements of which apply to electrical apparatus used in intrinsically safe electrical systems. The installation requirements of Group II or Group III systems designed in accordance with this standard are specified in IEC 60079-14. NOTE 2 Group I installation requirements are presently not provided in IEC 60079-14. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
