Non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres - Part 1: Basic methodology and requirements

This European Standard specifies the basic method and requirements for design, construction, testing and marking of non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in air of gas, vapour, mist and dusts. This standard is valid for atmospheres having pressures ranging from 0,8 bar to 1,1 bar and temperatures ranging from -20 °C to + 60 °C. Such atmospheres can also exist inside the equipment. The external atmosphere can be drawn inside the equipment by natural breathing produced as a result of fluctuations in the equipment's internal operating pressure, and/or temperature. This standard can also be helpful for the design, construction, testing and marking of equipment intended for use in atmospheres outside the validity range stated above, but in this case, the ignition risk assessment, ignition protection provided, additional testing (if necessary), manufacturer's technical documentation and instructions to the user, should clearly demonstrate and indicate the equipment's suitability for the conditions it may encounter. NOTE 1 This standard does
