Full Description

This document specifies methods for the identification and assessment of hazardous situations leadingto explosion and the design and construction measures appropriate for the required safety. This isachieved by:

risk assessment;
risk reduction.

The safety of equipment, protective systems and components can be achieved by eliminating hazardsand/or limiting the risk, i.e. by:

a) appropriate design (without using safeguarding);
b) safeguarding;
c) information for use;
d) any other preventive measures.

Measures in accordance with a) (prevention) and b) (protection) against explosions are dealt with inClause 6, measures according to c) against explosions are dealt with in Clause 7. Measures inaccordance with d) are not specified in this document. They are dealt with in EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 6.

The preventive and protective measures described in this document will not provide the required levelof safety unless the equipment, protective systems and components are operated within their intendeduse and are installed and maintained according to the relevant codes of practice or requirements.

This document specifies general design and construction methods to help designers and manufacturersin achieving explosion safety in the design of equipment, protective systems and components.

This document is applicable to any equipment, protective systems and components intended to be usedin potentially explosive atmospheres, under atmospheric conditions. These atmospheres can arise fromflammable/combustible substances processed, used or released by the equipment, protective systemsand components or from materials in the vicinity of the equipment, protective systems and componentsand/or from the materials of construction of the equipment, protective systems and components.

This document is applicable to equipment, protective systems and components at all stages of its use.

This document is only applicable to equipment group II which is intended for use in other places thanunderground parts of mines and those parts of surface installations of such mines endangered byfiredamp and/or combustible dust.
