<span style='color:red'>NEW!</span> IEC 60079-10-2:2015 is available as <a href="http://webstore.iec.ch/webstore/webstore.nsf/Artnum_PK/9999931248?opendocument">IEC Standards+ 60079-10-2:2015 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 60079-10-2:201 5 is concerned with the identification and classification of areas where explosive dust atmospheres and combustible dust layers are present, in order to permit the proper assessment of ignition sources in such areas. In this standard, explosive dust atmospheres and combustible dust layers are treated separately. In Clause 4, area classification for explosive dusts clouds is described, with dust layers acting as one of the possible sources of release. In Clause 7 other general considerations for dust layers are described. The examples in this standard are based on a system of effective housekeeping being implemented in the plant to prevent dust layers from accumulating. Where effective hous
