The document is a modication of the IEC document and includes U.S. deviations encompassing both additions and deletions of information. ANSI/

39、ISA-60079-1 and ANSI/UL 60079-1 contain identical requirements, and identical publication dates. The presentation and format of the standards material may differ between the two published standards. This common standard was prepared by the International Society of Automation (ISA) and Underwriters L

40、aboratories Inc. (UL). 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 users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of harmonization This standard adopts the IEC

41、 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 use of legislative text (strike-out and underline). The UL version of the standard illustrates national differences immediate

42、ly 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 interpretation by the SDO of an identical or equivalent standard shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the sta

43、ndard 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 possible to each of the SDOs to more accurately reect the intent. UL Effective Date The requirements in this standard are effective

44、 April 10, 2009. A UL effective date is one established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard.

45、 FROM UL Preface (ISA) This ISA standard is based on IEC Publication 60079-1. It is the intention of the ISA12 Committee to develop an ANSI Standard that is harmonized with IEC 60079-1 to the fullest extent possible. This preface is included for informational purposes and is not part of ANSI/ISA-600

46、79-1. The document is a modication of the IEC document and includes U.S. deviations encompassing both additions and deletions of information. The standards referenced within this document may contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute requirements of this document. At the t

47、ime of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this document are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated within this document. Members of IEC and ISO ma

48、intain registers of currently valid International Standards. ANSI maintains registers of currently valid U.S. National Standards. This document has been prepared as part of the service of ISA toward a goal of uniformity in the eld of instrumentation. To be of real value, this document should not be

49、static but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms and asks that they be addressed to the Secretary, Standards and Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709; Telephone (919) 549-8411; Fax (919) 549-8288; E-mail: standardsisa.org.
