20、he common ISA and UL, Standard for the Performance Requirements for Toxic Gas Detectors. It is the second edition of ANSI/ISA-92.00.01 and the second edition of ANSI/UL 920001. The document is a modification of the ISA document to create the equivalent UL version and maintain the ANSI approval of th

21、is standard. ANSI/ISA-92.00.01 and ANSI/UL 920001 contain identical requirements, and identical publication dates. Efforts have been made to synchronize the UL edition number with that of the corresponding ISA standard with which this standard is harmonized. As a result, one or more UL edition numbe

22、rs have been skipped to match that of the ISA edition number. This common standard was prepared by the (ISA) - The International Society of Automation on December 23, 2010 but is now being maintained by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Note: Although the intended primary application of this stan

23、dard 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. UL Effective Date The requirements in this standard are in effect. A UL effective date is one established by Underwriters Labora

24、tories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard.

25、included for information purposes and is not part of ANSI/ISA-92.00.01-2010 (R2015). This document has been prepared as part of the service of 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 re

26、view. The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric system 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 user

27、s of ISA standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavour to introduce SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices,

28、 and technical reports to the greatest extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System, published by the American Society for Testing b) personal monitors, similar in size and mass to the hand-held apparatus, that are continuously operating (but

29、not necessarily continuously sensing) while they are attached to the user; and c) larger apparatus that can be operated by the user while it is suspended by hand, by a shoulder strap or by a carrying harness; it may or may not have a hand directed probe. 3.23 REL (Recommended Exposure Limit): exposu

30、re levels that are safe for various periods of employment, including but not limited to the exposure levels at which no employee will suffer impaired health or functional capacities or diminished life expectancy as a result of that work experience. 3.24 range: the values of concentrations of toxic g

31、as over which accuracy is ensured by calibration. 3.25 spot-reading apparatus: apparatus intended to be used for short periods of time as required (typically 5 min or less).

34、gebraic difference between the upper and lower values of a range. 3.29 stabilization: state when three successive readings of an apparatus, taken at intervals equal to the maximum t(90) value defined in Annex A (Item 5), indicates no changes greater than the accuracy value defined in Annex A (Item 2

35、). 3.30 stationary apparatus: a gas-detection apparatus intended for permanent installation in a fixed location. 3.31 (TLV-)STEL, (Threshold Limit Value-) Short-Term Exposure Limit: a 15-minute Time-Weighted Average (TWA) exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a workday, even if the

36、 8-hour TWA is within the Threshold Limit Value - Time-Weighted Average (TLV-TWA). 3.32 test gas: toxic gas diluted with clean air or inert gas to a known concentration within the test-gas tolerance stated in Annex A, Item 1. 3.33 transportable apparatus: apparatus not intended to be portable, but w

37、hich can be moved readily from one place to another. 3.34 (TLV-)TWA, (Threshold Limit Value-) Time-Weighted Average: the time-weighted average concentration for a normal 8-hour work day in a 40-hour work week, to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverse effe

Health effects may include severe skin or eye irritation, pulmonary edema, neurotoxicity, or other potentially fatal conditions. 3.36 trouble signal: in

39、formation that alerts an apparatus user to abnormal conditions. 3.37 stand-alone gas detection apparatus: a detector which provides a conditioned electronic signal or output indication to a system. The stand-alone detector head is intended to be interfaced to unspecified separate control unit, signa

42、 gas detection apparatus shall be suitable for use in the intended location. NOTE This means that other relevant requirements (e.g. hazardous (classified) locations, environmental ratings, combustible gas detection, cross-sensitivity poisoning, etc.) must be addressed. 4.1.2 All toxic gas-detection

43、apparatus shall meet the minimum construction and test requirements contained within this standard. When verifying a manufacturers claimed superior performance or special features of construction, the minimum requirements of the standard must be met and the manufacturers claimed superior performance

44、 must be verified by test. The superior performance of one criterion may result in a reduced performance in other criteria. The additional tests should be agreed upon by the manufacturer and test laboratory and identified and described in the test report. EXAMPLES: (1) When a manufacturer claims a s

45、ensor accuracy over a defined temperature range of 50C to +40C at 10ppm (assuming a measuring range of 0-100ppm), the sensor shall meet the manufacturers claim from 50C to 10C and meet the specified requirements of section 5.15 for the temperature range of 10C to +40C. (2) For detectors that consist

46、 of detection and alarm capabilities for simultaneous detection of 5 or more gases, the product shall state the following, “Reference instruction manual for a list of all gases. The additional tests shall be agreed between the manufacturer and test laboratory. 4.1.3 Gas-detection apparatus, their co

47、mponents, and remote detector heads specifically intended for use in the presence of corrosive vapors or gases shall be constructed of materials resistant to, or protected against, corrosion. 4.1.4 Apparatus of the sample-draw type shall include the necessary sample-pumping mechanisms. 4.2 Indicatin

48、g devices (audible, visual and display) 4.2.1 An indication shall be provided to show that the apparatus is energized. NOTE For fixed apparatus the indication may be shown at the control unit. 4.2.2 For alarm-only apparatus or apparatus where the resolution of the read-out device is inadequate to de

49、monstrate compliance with this standard, the manufacturer shall identify suitable points for connecting indicating or recording devices for the purpose of testing the compliance of the apparatus with this standard. The indication on the readout device shall not contradict the results obtained by additional indicating or recording devices. NOTE - If the main mode of the apparatus is “alarm only”, but through a special or factory provided mode can display the gas reading
