This part of ISO/IEC 80079 specifies the explosion protection requirements for the design, construction, assessment and information for use (maintenance, repair, marking) of equipment that may be an individual item or form an assembly.
This includes machinery and components for use in mines susceptible to explosive atmospheres of firedamp and/or combustible dust. The standard atmospheric conditions (relating to the explosion characteristics of the atmosphere) under which it may be assumed that equipment can be operated are:
• temperature -20 °C to +60 °C;
• pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar); and
• air with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % v/v.
This part of ISO/IEC 80079 applies for equipment and components according to EPL Mb to be used in explosive atmospheres containing firedamp and/or combustible dust.
Dieser Teil von ISO/IEC 80079 legt die Anforderungen an die konstruktiven Merkmale von Geräten und Komponenten fest, um deren Einsatz - einzeln oder als Baugruppen - in Bergwerken oder in Teilen von Bergwerken zu ermöglichen, die durch eine explosionsfähige Atmosphäre von brennbaren Gasen und/oder brennbaren Staub gefährdet werden können.
