EN 15198:2007 (E) 4 Introduction The function of this type A standard (description of general principles) as defined in CEN Guide 414 is to describe principles for a consistent system

19、atic procedure for ignition risk assessment depending on Group II or Group I equipment. Annex A is informative and contains examples for ignition risk assessment. This European Standard does not provide means to prove the conformity of equipment categories. The procedure of ignition risk assessment

20、for the design of equipment and components lead to a defined safety level which allows categorisation according to the appropriate criteria. It is in both the manufacturers and users interest to establish a common methodology for achieving safety, reliability and efficacy in functioning and operatin

21、g equipment and components with respect to the ignition hazards. Thus, ignition risk assessment is a tool which provides the essential link between manufacturers and users, but only aspects that directly address manufacturers are incorporated. Integrated explosion safety is conceived to prevent the

22、formation of explosive atmospheres as well as sources of ignition and, should an explosion nevertheless occur, to halt it immediately and / or to limit its effects. In this connection, the manufacturer must take measures with respect to the potential ignition sources. In addition, equipment and comp

23、onent must be designed and constructed after due analysis of possible operating faults in order as far as possible to preclude dangerous situations taking the misuse which can reasonably be anticipated into account. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to conduct an ignition risk assessment process.

24、 For the equipment and components the identification of the potential ignition sources is the most relevant part of the ignition risk assessment. EN 15198:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies basic methodology used in achieving safety of equipment for intended use in potentially explo

25、sive atmospheres. The provisions specified in this European Standard are intended for the designer. It also specifies a strategy for standard makers. This European Standard specifies the procedure and information required to allow ignition risk assessment to be carried out for the design of equipmen

26、t or component. This European Standard provides advice for a decision to be made for the categorisation of equipment but does not provide means to prove the conformity of equipment categories. In this procedure the following information is to be taken into account: a) Possible occurrence of an explo

27、sive atmosphere inside the equipment or component or penetrating the equipment or component from the outside (in normal operation or during malfunctions) and the amount of explosive atmosphere involved leading to possible explosion impact inside of the equipment or component; b) equipment or compone

28、nts surrounded by an explosive atmosphere (in normal operation or during malfunctions); c) equipment or components wholly or partly surrounded by an explosive atmosphere considering also any explosive atmosphere in connection (in normal operation or during malfunctions); d) presence and likelihood (

29、effectiveness) of ignition sources. The final objective is designing and manufacturing equipment or components intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. For this purpose equipment or components if necessary should be designed with adequate preventive and/or protective measures. This Eur

30、opean Standard specifies neither specific methods of analysis associated with ignition risk assessment, nor specific requirements for a category of equipment. It describes the methodology of ignition risk assessment. This European Standard does not apply to equipment with a potentially explosive atm

31、osphere inside under operating conditions, and without interfaces to an external potentially explosive atmospheres. This European Standard is applicable to all categories of equipment referred to in EN 13463-1. This ignition risk assessment procedure does not preclude the conditions prevailing in an

32、 installation where the equipment or component is put into operation by a user. NOTE Functional safety assessment of protective systems is covered by EN 15233. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only

33、 the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

35、, the terms and definitions given in EN 13237:2003 and the following apply. 3.1 ignition risk probability of occurrence of an ignition source that is capable of igniting an explosive atmosphere 3.2 ignition hazard occurrence of a potential ignition source that is capable of igniting an explosive atm

36、osphere 3.3 potential ignition source equipment related ignition source that has the capability to ignite an explosive atmosphere (i.e. to become an effective ignition source) 3.4 protective measure means used to reduce the probability of an ignition source to become effective 3.5 ignition risk esti

37、mation determination of the probability of the occurrence of an ignition source 3.6 ignition risk evaluation procedure to determine whether the intended level of protection (related to the equipment category) has been achieved 4 General requirements 4.1 Basic concept Ignition risk assessment is a se

38、ries of logical steps (see Figure 1) that enable designers and safety engineers to examine in a systematic way, the function of an equipment or component arising from its use in a potentially explosive atmosphere and to decide whether protective measures and/or type of protection are needed. The obj

39、ective shall be to achieve an adequate level of safety. Ignition risk assessment includes the following four steps: a) product description: performance, lifetime, configuration (see 5.2), b) identification of ignition hazards (see 5.3), c) ignition risk estimation (see 5.4), d) ignition risk evaluat

40、ion (see 5.5). These four steps are the basis for the decision whether the intended safety level is achieved (see 5.6). The result of the assessment shall be detailed in the technical documentation (see Clause 6). EN 15198:2007 (E) 7 If the intended level of protection is not achieved, it shall be n

41、ecessary after redesign, to reassess the procedure to obtain the correct category or use of suitable protective measures. NOTE The determination of correct categories and the selection of the suitable protective measures is not part of this standard. 4.2 Extent of ignition risk assessment Initially

42、the boundary or limit of the equipment and/or components must be specified under which the ignition risk assessment has to be carried out. The limit is determined by the extent of explosive atmosphere or the ignition sources which are originated by the considered equipment and/or components. The ign

43、ition risk assessment shall be limited to equipment and/or components and not extended to aspects for which the user is responsible. The extent of the ignition risk assessment, which includes all operations, shall take into account: a) intended use; and b) misuse which can be reasonably anticipated.

44、 An ignition risk assessment shall also include the possibility of an explosion inside the equipment and/or components causing an impact on the outside. NOTE Misuse that can be reasonably anticipated indicates incorrect use and/or operation of the equipment and/or components by the operator due to c

45、arelessness or misunderstanding. Misuse is not part of the normal operation. Intent is not included in misuse that can reasonably be anticipated. 4.3 Information needed for ignition risk assessment The information needed to perform the ignition risk assessment shall include the following where appro

46、priate: a) intended use referring to group I or group II and categories 1, 2, 3; b) initial appraisal of the equipment or component; c) materials to be processed (or necessary safety data); d) requirements for maintenance including cleaning; e) design drawings; f) results of design calculations made

47、, examinations carried out. If available: g) test reports, if they allow the evaluation of the probability of occurrence and/or the efficiency of ignition sources; h) accident history; i) information on relevant safety aspects. If an accident history is not available for the equipment and/or compone

48、nts, available information for similar equipment and/or components shall be used as it is unlikely that equipment and/or components are so unique that similar equipment and/or components cannot be found. The absence of an accident history, a small EN 15198:2007 (E) 8 number of accidents or low sever

49、ities of accidents shall not be taken as an automatic presumption of a low ignition risk. The information shall be updated as the design develops and modifications are required. For quantitative assessment, data from data bases, handbooks, laboratories and manufacturers specifications shall be used provided that there is confidence in its suitability. Any uncertainty associated with the data shall be recorded in the documentation (see Clause 6). NOTE Data is used to define foreseeable operations requirements related to reliability, serviceability, du
