Type Changes Clause Minor and editorial changes Extension Major technical changes Notes deleted 1 X Reference to associated apparatus deleted 1 X Additional normative references included 3 X Requirements against mechani

25、cal and electrostatic ignition hazards deleted (now covered in EN 60079-0) 4.1 X Requirement for separation element detailed regarding external influences 4.1.3.2 X Intrinsic safety Ex ia as single type of protection including associated apparatus deleted (now covered by EPL) 4.2.2 (ed.2) X Encapsul

26、ation Ex ma as single type of protection deleted (now covered by EPL) 4.2.3 (ed.2) X Conditions a) and b) linked with an “and”, therefore requirement of “flameproof joint” deleted in following clause. Both requirements already covered by separation elements and standardised process connections. 4.3

27、X Process connection requires a sufficiently tight joint: IP66 added alternatively to IP67 4.3 X Requirement for isolated conductive components deleted (now covered in EN 60079-0) 4.4 (ed.2) X Requirements for non-conductive enclosures deleted (now covered in EN 60079-0) 4.5 (ed.2) X Test of partiti

BS EN 60079-26:2015EN 60079-26:2015 - 6 - Explanations: A) Definitions 1) Minor and editorial changes: - clarification - decrease of technical requirements - minor technical change - editorial corrections These are changes which modify requirements in an ed

31、itorial or a minor technical way. They include changes of the wording to clarify technical requirements without any technical change, or a reduction in level of existing requirement. 2) Extension: Addition of technical options These are changes which add new or modify existing technical requirements

32、, in a way that new options are given, but without increasing requirements for equipment that was fully compliant with the previous standard. Therefore, these will not have to be considered for products in conformity with the preceding edition. 3) Major technical change: - addition of technical requ

33、irements - increase of technical requirements These are changes to technical requirements (addition, increase of the level or removal) made in a way that a product in conformity with the preceding edition will not always be able to fulfil the requirements given in the later edition. These changes ha

34、ve to be considered for products in conformity with the preceding edition. For these changes additional information is provided in Clause B) below. NOTE: These changes represent current technological knowledge. However, these changes should not normally have an influence on equipment already placed

40、 marking for electrical equipment that provides Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga when single standardised Types of Protection (e.g. Ex “ia” , Ex “ma”, Ex “da”) cannot be applied. This standard also applies to equipment mounted across a boundary where different Equipment Protection Levels may be r

41、equired. EXAMPLE: Equipment installed in the wall of a storage vessel containing Zone 0 (requiring EPL Ga) inside an area defined as Zone 1 (requiring EPL Gb). This electrical equipment, within the operational parameters specified by the manufacturer, ensures a very high Level of Protection that inc

42、ludes rare malfunctions related to the equipment or two malfunctions occurring independently of each other. NOTE A malfunction may result from a failure of the component parts of the electrical equipment or from anticipated externally applied influences. Two independent malfunctions which may occur

43、more frequently and which, separately, would not create an ignition hazard but which, in combination, could create a potential ignition hazard, are regarded as occurring together to form a rare malfunction. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requi

44、rement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
