44、the text of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Publication 60079-7, Explosive atmospheres Part 7: Equipment protection by increased safety e copyright 2015 are indicated by notations (differences) and are presented within the body of the UL printed standard in bold text with legislative

45、 mark-ups (strike-out and underline). There are ve types of National Differences as noted below. The difference type is noted on the rst line of the National Difference in the standard. The standard may not include all types of these National Differences. D1 These are National Differences which are

46、based on basic safety principles and requirements, elimination of which would compromise safety for consumers and users of products. D2 These are national differences from IEC requirements based on existing safety practices. These requirements reect national safety practices, where empirical substan

47、tiation (for the IEC or national requirement) is not available or the text has not been included in the IEC standard. DC These are National Differences based on the component standards and will not be deleted until a particular component standard is harmonized with the IEC component standard. DE The

48、se are National Differences based on editorial comments or corrections. DR These are National Differences based on the national regulatory requirements. Each national difference contains a description of what the national difference entails. Typically one of the following words is used to explain ho

49、w the text of the national difference is to be applied to the base IEC text: Addition / Add - An addition entails adding a complete new numbered clause, subclause, table, gure, or annex. Addition is not meant to include adding select words to the base IEC text. Deletion / Delete - A deletion entails complete deletion of an entire numbered clause, subclause, table, gure, or annex without any replacement text. Modication / Modify
