Guide for selection, installation, use and maintenance of apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible gases or oxygen
This document gives guidance on the selection, installation, use and maintenance of electrically operated Group II apparatus intended for use in industrial and commercial safety applications for the detection and measurement of: combustible gases, as described in EN 50054, EN 50057, EN 50058 or oxygen as described in EN 50104. This guide is a compilation of practical knowledge to assist the user. Combustible gas detection apparatus, fixed, transportable or portable, may be used whenever there is the possibility of a risk to life or property caused by the accumulation of a combustible gas-air mixture. Such apparatus can provide a means of reducing the risk by detecting the presence of the combustible gas and issuing suitable audible or visual warnings. It may also be used to initiate specific safety precautions (e.g. plant shutdown, evacuation, operation of fire extinguishing procedures).
