SR EN 1710+A1:2008

Equipment and components intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in underground mines

This European Standard specifies the explosion protection requirements for the construction and marking of equipment that may be an individual item or form an assembly. This includes machinery and components placed on the market by a single supplier for use in mines susceptible to explosive atmospheres of firedamp and/or combustible dust (at atmospheric conditions as defined in EN 1127-2). NOTE 1 This European Standard deals only with the ignition protection of mining machinery and manufacturers will need to take account of all other relevant EU Directives relating to the construction of machines e.g. the consolidated Machinery Directive 98/37/EC. Additionally, manufacturers will need to take account of any national legislation in the country where they intend to market their equipment. NOTE 2 Where the flammable gas in the atmosphere is not predominantly methane, reference will need to be made to 4.1 in either EN 60079-0:2004 or EN 13463-1:2001.
