It is the rst edit

22、ion of FM 60079-29-4 and the rst edition of UL 60079-29-4. This harmonized standard is based on IEC Publication 60079-29-4: rst edition, Explosive Atmospheres Part 29-4: Gas Detectors - Performance Requirements of Open Path Detectors for Flammable Gases issued November 2009, as revised by corrigendu

23、m 1 issued August, 2010. IEC publication 60079-29-4 is copyrighted by the IEC. At the time of this publication, IEC 60079-29-4, Edition 1 is available from IEC in English only. This harmonized standard was prepared by FM Approvals LLC (FM) and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). This standard is co

24、nsidered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. Application of Standard Where reference is made to a specic number of samples to be tested, the specied number is to be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although the intended primary application of this

25、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 their particular purpose. Level of Harmonization This standard adopts the IEC text with national differences. This standard is published as an identic

26、al standard for FM and UL. An identical standard is a standard that is exactly the same in technical content except for national differences resulting from conicts in codes and governmental regulations. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes. All national differences from the IEC

27、 text are included in the FM and UL versions of the standard. While the technical content is the same in each organizations version, the format and presentation may differ. Interpretations The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on

28、 the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identied, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development

29、organizations to more accurately reect the intent.

International, governmental and nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this

38、 preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

39、 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 recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable eff

40、orts 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 user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publicat

41、ions transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Ind

42、ependent certication 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 independent certication bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No lia

43、bility 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 personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (inc

44、luding 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 references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application o

45、f 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 identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60079-29-4 has been prepared by IEC technica

46、l committee 31: Equipment for explosive atmospheres. This standard supplements and modies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0.
