27、9-4 IEC:2009 INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION _ EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Part 29-4: Gas detectors Performance requirements of open path detectors for flammable gases FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all n
28、ational electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Techn
29、ical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work
30、. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2)
31、The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommenda
32、tions for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end
33、 user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publicat
34、ion shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independen
35、t certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any perso
36、nal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative refe
37、rences cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for
38、 identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60079-29-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 31: Equipment for explosive atmospheres. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with
39、a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard shall take precedence. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 31/819/FDIS 31/841/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indi
40、cated in the above table. 60079-29-4 IEC:2009 5 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts of the IEC 60079 series, under the general title: Explosives atmospheres, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the conte
41、nts of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. IMPORT
42、ANT The colour inside logo on the cover page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer. 6 60079-29-4 IEC:2009 EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Part 29-
43、4: Gas detectors Performance requirements of open path detectors for flammable gases 1 Scope This part of IEC 60079-29 specifies performance requirements of equipment for the detection and measuring of flammable gases or vapours in ambient air by measuring the spectral absorption by the gases or vap
44、ours over extended optical paths, ranging typically from one metre to a few kilometres. Such equipment measures the integral concentration of the absorbing gas over the optical path in units such as LFL metre for flammable gases. NOTE 1 Actual values of concentration can be deduced only where it can
45、 be established that the concentration is uniform over the optical path, for example in very short optical paths (100 mm). In such cases, the equipment is within the scope of IEC 60079-29-1. NOTE 2 This standard is based upon present absorption techniques using infrared radiation. Other techniques a
46、nd applications may require additional test considerations (e.g. pressure test). Equipment falling within the scope of this standard is classified by the following types: Type 1: an optical transmitter and receiver, located at either end of a path through the atmosphere to be monitored. Type 2: an o
47、ptical transceiver (i.e. combined transmitter and receiver) and a suitable reflector, which may be a topographic feature or a retroreflector, located at either end of a path through the atmosphere to be monitored. This standard is also applicable when an equipment manufacturer makes any claims regar
48、ding any special features of construction or superior performance that exceed the minimum requirements of this standard. All such claims shall be verified and the test procedures should be extended or supplemented, where necessary, to verify the claimed performance. The additional tests shall be agr
49、eed between the manufacturer and the test laboratory and identified and described in the test report. This standard does not apply to any of following: a) equipment intended to provide range resolution of gas concentration (e.g. Light direction and ranging (LIDAR); b) equipment consisting of a passive optical receiver without a dedicated optical source; c) equipment intended to measure the local volum
