It is the third ed
9、ition of ANSI/ISA-60079-6 and the third edition of ANSI/UL 60079-6. ANSI/ISA-60079-6 and ANSI/UL 60079-6 contain identical requirements, and identical publication dates. The presentation and format of the standards material may differ between the two published standards. This common Standard was pre
10、pared by the International Society of Automation (ISA) and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for the
11、ir particular purpose. Level of harmonization This standard adopts the IEC text with deviations. The requirements are presented in different formats. The ISA version of the standard illustrates the national differences from the IEC text through the use of legislative text (strike-out and underline).
12、 The UL version of the standard illustrates national differences immediately following the IEC text. National differences between the UL version and the ISA version shall be word for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpretation by the SDO of an identical or equivalent standa
13、rd shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the SDO. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identified, a revision shall be proposed as soon as possible to each of the SDOs to more accurately reflect
14、 the intent . UL Effective Date As of 24 July 2009 all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this Standard.This page intentionally left blank. 22 November 2013 ANSI/ISA-60079-6 ANSI/UL 60079-6 7 Preface (ISA) This ISA standard is based on IEC Publication 60079-6. I
15、t is the intention of the ISA12 Committee to develop an ANSI standard that is harmonized with IEC 60079-6 to the fullest extent possible. This preface, as well as all annexes, is included for informational purposes and is not part of ANSI/ISA-60079-6. The standards referenced within this document ma
16、y contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute requirements of this document. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this document are encouraged to investigate the possibility o
17、f applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated within this document. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ANSI maintains registers of currently valid U.S. National Standards. This document has been prepared as part of the service of th
18、e International Society of Automation (ISA) toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this document should not be static but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms and asks that they be addressed
19、 to the Secretary, Standards and Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709; Telephone (919) 549-8411; Fax (919) 549-8288; E-mail: standardsisa.org. The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric sy
20、stem of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business
21、and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical reports to the greatest extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units
22、 (SI): The Modern Metric System, published by the American Society for Testing added requirements for external connections; collected all marking requirements in the marking clause; added requirements for instructions.

23、79-6 17 1 Scope This standard part of IEC 60079 specifies the requirements for the construction and testing of oil-immersed electrical equipment, oil-immersed parts of electrical equipment and Ex components in the type of protection oil immersion “o“, intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres. N
24、OTE Type of protection oil immersion “o” provides equipment protection level (EPL) Gb. For further information, see Annex A. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of ANSI/ISA-60079-0 IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of ANSI/ISA-
25、60079-0 IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. This standard is applicable to electrical equipment, parts of electrical equipment, and Ex components which, in the absence of oil immersion, are not ignition capable in normal operation as determined by ANSI/ISA-60079-15 IEC 60
26、079-15 or ANSI/ISA-60079-11 IEC 60079-11. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
