39、N WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL General Notes This is the common ISA and UL Standard for Explosive atmospheres Part 15: Equipment protection by type of protection n . It is the Fourth edition of ANSI/ISA 60079-15 (superseding ANSI/ISA 60079-15 (12.12.02)-2009) and the Fourth edition of ANSI/UL 60079-15

40、. This document is a modication of the IEC document and includes U.S. deviations encompassing both additions and deletions of information. ANSI/ISA 60079-15 and ANSI/UL 60079-15 contain identical requirements, and identical publication dates. The presentation and format of the standards material may

41、 differ between the two published standards. This common Standard was prepared by the International Society of Automation (ISA) and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Note: Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains th

42、e responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their 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 fro

43、m the IEC text through the use of legislative text (strike-out and underline). 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. Inte

44、rpretations The interpretation by the SDO of an identical or equivalent standard 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 identied, a revision shall be

45、 proposed as soon as possible to each of the SDOs to more accurately reect the intent. UL Effective Date The effective date for UL is the date of publication. However, the third edition of UL 60079-15 will also be effective until September 1, 2018. A UL effective date is one established by Underwrit

46、ers Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard.

47、on of IEC Publication 60079-15. It is the intention of the ISA12 Committee to develop an ANSI Standard that is harmonized with IEC 60079-15 to the fullest extent possible. This preface is included for informational purposes and is not part of ANSI/ISA-60079-15. The document is a modication of the IE

48、C document and includes U.S. deviations encompassing both additions and deletions of information. The signicant changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: addition of equipment protection levels; removal of the requirements for energy-limited “nL” and associated energy limited ap

49、paratus “nL”; removal of the requirements for encapsulated Devices “nC”; requirements for electrical connections expanded and claried; requirements for luminaire ballasts expanded and claried; requirements for evaluation and testing of motor rotors claried; 15 kV limit for equipment protection by type of protection n added; spacing requirement for voltages above 10 kV modied; require
