30、ric pressure of one atmosphere. 2 General 2.1 Flashlights or lanterns for Division 1 that employ a lamp disconnect mechanism must meet the requirements in Part II of this standard. 2.2 Flashlights or lanterns for Division 1 that do not employ a lamp disconnect mechanism must meet the requirements in

31、 Part III of this standard. 2.3 Flashlights or lanterns for Division 2 must meet the requirements in Part IV of this standard. 2.4 A ashlight or lantern for Class II, Division 1 locations shall also comply with the requirements for Class I, Division 1, Group D. 2.5 If a ashlight or a lantern is inte

32、nded for use with different types of batteries, such as with carbon-zinc or alkaline types, tests shall be conducted using each type of battery, unless tests on a specic battery type can be considered representative of all other battery types.

Examples include incandescent lamps, LEDs (light-emitting diodes) an

42、d clusters of LEDs. 6.2 LAMP DISCONNECT MECHANISM A mechanism that disconnects an incandescent lamp from its supply circuit and prevents the ignition of a specied surrounding ammable gas or vapor-air atmosphere when the glass bulb surrounding the lamp lament is broken. 6.3 PRIMARY BATTERY A battery

43、that can be discharged only once. It is not designed to be rechargeable. 6.4 SECONDARY BATTERY A battery that is intended to be discharged and recharged multiple times. 6.5 NONINCENDIVE CIRCUIT A circuit, other than eld wiring, in which any arc of thermal effect produced under intended operating con

44、ditions of the equipment is not capable, under specied test conditions, of igniting the ammable gas-air, vapor-air, or dust-air mixture. 6.6 MAXIMUM SERVICE TEMPERATURE The highest temperature reached on a specied component of the device under normal operating conditions. 6.7 PROTECTIVE COMPONENT OR
