Conveyor belts for use in underground installations - Electrical and flammability safety requirements

This document specifies electrical and flammability safety requirements for conveyor belts intended for use in underground installations, in the presence of flammable or non-flammable atmospheres.
Conveyor belts covered by this document and intended for use in flammable atmospheres are intended for use on conveyor belt installations (machinery in mines). The belt is a component or part of equipment, which can be incorporated into the conveyor, which is an equipment of Group I, Category M2, as defined in 3.2.2 of EN ISO 80079-36:2016.
This document is not applicable to light conveyor belts as described in EN ISO 21183-1:2006 nor is it applicable to conveyor belts which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
This document deals with those significant hazards detailed in A.1.
Attention is drawn to Annexes ZA and ZB.
NOTE   A summary of the requirements of this document is given in Table 2. This is intended for quick reference only.

Fördergurte für die Verwendung unter Tage - Elektrische und brandtechnische Sicherheitsanforderungen

Dieses Dokument legt elektrische und brandtechnische Sicherheitsanforderungen an Fördergurte für den Einsatz unter Tage bei entflammbarer und nicht entflammbarer Atmosphäre fest.
Fördergurte, die unter dieses Dokument fallen und vorgesehen sind für den für den Einsatz in entflammbaren Atmosphären, sind vorgesehen für den Gebrauch in Förderanlagen (Maschinen in Bergwerken). Der Fördergurt ist ein Teil der Fördereinrichtung, die eine Ausrüstung nach Gruppe I, Kategorie M2, darstellt, wie in EN ISO 80079-36:2016, 3.2.2, definiert.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für die in EN ISO 21183-1:2006 beschriebenen leichten Fördergurte und auch nicht für Fördergurte, die vor dem Datum der Veröffentlichung dieses Dokuments durch CEN hergestellt wurden.
Dieses Dokument behandelt die in Abschnitt A.1 aufgeführten signifikanten Gefährdungen.
Es wird auf Anhang ZA und Anhang ZB hingewiesen.
ANMERKUNG   Tabelle 2 gibt eine Zusammenfassung der Anforderungen dieses Dokuments. Diese dient lediglich einem schnellen Überblick.

Courroies transporteuses pour usage dans les installations souterraines - Exigences de sécurité électrique et de protection contre l’inflammabilité

Le présent document spécifie des prescriptions de sécurité électrique et de protection contre l’inflammabilité pour les courroies transporteuses destinées à être utilisées dans des installations souterraines, en présence d’atmosphères inflammables ou non inflammables.
Les courroies transporteuses couvertes par le présent document et destinées à être utilisées en atmosphères inflammables sont destinées aux installations de transport par bande (machines dans les mines). La courroie est un composant ou une partie d’un appareil qui peut être incorporé(e) dans le convoyeur, qui est lui-même un appareil du Groupe I, Catégorie M2, tel que défini en 3.2.2 de l’EN ISO 80079-36:2016.
Le présent document n’est pas applicable aux courroies transporteuses légères telles que décrites dans l’EN ISO 21183-1:2006, ni aux courroies transporteuses qui ont été fabriquées avant la date de publication du présent document par le CEN.
Le présent document traite des phénomènes dangereux significatifs détaillés en A.1.
L’attention est attirée sur les Annexes ZA et ZB.
NOTE   Un résumé des prescriptions de la présente Norme européenne est donné dans le Tableau 2. Il est destiné à une consultation rapide uniquement.
