They include c

29、hanges of the wording to clarify technical requirements without any technical change, or a reduction in level of existing requirement. Extension addition of technical options These are changes which add new or modify existing technical requirements, in a way that new options are given, but without i

30、ncreasing 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. Major technical changes addition of technical requirements increase of technical requirements These are cha

31、nges 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 have to be considered for products in conformity with the pre

32、ceding 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 on the market. B) Information about the background of Major

33、Technical Changes C1 A requirement was added for “ta” to require the temperature marking to be based on the highest of either the temperature produced by the internal components or the external surface temperature. C2 Requirements were added for “ta” equipment that contains a normally arcing part to

34、 require a supplementary internal enclosure around the arcing part. C3 Requires an impact test on the supplementary enclosure for “ta” equipment.

39、nclosure and surface temperature limitation for use in explosive dust atmospheres. It specifies requirements for design, construction and testing of electrical equipment and Ex Components. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this sta

40、ndard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. This standard does not apply to dusts of explosives, which do not require atmospheric oxygen for combustion, or to pyrophoric substances. This standard does not apply to electrical equipment or Ex C

41、omponents intended for use in underground parts of mines as well as those parts of surface installations of such mines endangered by firedamp and/or combustible dust. This standard does not take account of any risk due to an emission of flammable or toxic gas from the dust. Consideration of addition

42、al protective measures is required where the application of electrical equipment is in atmospheres, which can contain combustible dust as well as explosive gas, whether simultaneously or separately. Where the electrical equipment has to meet other environmental conditions, for example, protection ag

43、ainst ingress of water and resistance to corrosion, additional measures can be necessary. The measures used should not adversely affect the integrity of the enclosure. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensab
