43、 DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL General Notes This is the common ISA and UL Standard for Explosive Atmospheres Part 0: Equipment General Requirements. It is the Sixth edition of ANSI/ISA 60079-0 (superceding ANSI/ISA 60079-0-2009) and the Sixth edition of ANSI/UL 60079-0. This document is a

44、 modication of the IEC document and includes U.S. deviations encompassing both additions and deletions of information. ANSI/ISA 60079-0 and ANSI/UL 60079-0 contain identical requirements, and identical publication dates. The presentation and format of the standards material may differ between the tw

45、o published standards. This common standard was prepared by International Society of Automation (ISA) and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the us

46、ers of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of harmonization This standard adopts the IEC text with deviations. The requirements are presented in different formats. The ISA version of the standard illustrates the national differences from the IEC text through the

47、 use of legislative text (strike-out and underline). The UL version of the standard illustrates national differences immediately following the IEC text. National differences between the UL version and the ISA version shall be word for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpreta

48、tion by the SDO of an identical or equivalent standard shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the SDO. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identied, a revision shall be proposed as soon as possi

49、ble to each of the SDOs to more accurately reect the intent. UL Effective Date The effective date for UL is the date of publication. However, the fth edition of UL 60079-0 will also be effective until September 1, 2018. A UL effective date is one established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard.
