BS EN 1127-1:2011EN 1127-1:2011 (E) 5 Introduction CEN and CENELEC are producing a set of

27、standards to assist designers, manufacturers and other interested bodies to interpret the essential safety requirements in order to achieve conformity with European Legislation. Within this series of standards CEN has undertaken to draw up a standard to give guidance in the field of explosion preven

28、tion and protection, as hazards from explosions are to be considered in accordance with EN ISO 12100. In accordance with EN ISO 12100, it is a type A standard. This standard describes the basic concepts and methodology of explosion prevention and protection. CEN/TC 305 has a mandate in this area to

29、produce B-type, and C-type standards, which will allow verification of conformity with the essential safety requirements. Explosions can occur from: a) materials processed or used by the equipment, protective systems and components; b) materials released by the equipment, protective systems and comp

30、onents; c) materials in the vicinity of the equipment, protective systems and components; d) materials of construction of the equipment, protective systems and components. Since safety depends not only on equipment, protective systems and components but also on the material being handled and its use

31、, this standard includes aspects related to the intended use and foreseeable misuse, i.e. the manufacturer should consider in which way and for which purpose the equipment, protective systems and components will be used and take this into account during its design and construction. This is the only

32、way hazards inherent in equipment, protective systems and components can be reduced. NOTE This standard may also serve as a guide for users of equipment, protective systems and components when assessing the risk of explosion in the workplace and selecting the appropriate equipment, protective system

33、s and components. BS EN 1127-1:2011EN 1127-1:2011 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for the identification and assessment of hazardous situations leading to explosion and the design and construction measures appropriate for the required safety. This is achieved by: risk assessme

34、nt; risk reduction. The safety of equipment, protective systems and components can be achieved by eliminating hazards and/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 accordan

35、ce with a) (prevention) and b) (protection) against explosions are dealt with in Clause 6, measures according to c) against explosions are dealt with in Clause 7. Measures in accordance with d) are not specified in this European Standard. They are dealt with in EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 6. The preve

36、ntive and protective measures described in this European Standard will not provide the required level of safety unless the equipment, protective systems and components are operated within their intended use and are installed and maintained according to the relevant codes of practice or requirements.

37、 This standard specifies general design and construction methods to help designers and manufacturers in achieving explosion safety in the design of equipment, protective systems and components. This European Standard is applicable to any equipment, protective systems and components intended to be us

38、ed in potentially explosive atmospheres, under atmospheric conditions. These atmospheres can arise from flammable materials processed, used or released by the equipment, protective systems and components or from materials in the vicinity of the equipment, protective systems and components and/or fro

39、m the materials of construction of the equipment, protective systems and components. This European Standard is applicable to equipment, protective systems and components at all stages of its use. This European Standard is only applicable to equipment group II which is intended for use in other place

40、s than underground parts of mines and those parts of surface installations of such mines endangered by firedamp and/or flammable dust. This European Standard is not applicable to: 1) medical devices intended for use in a medical environment; 2) equipment, protective systems and components where the

41、explosion hazard results exclusively from the presence of explosive substances or unstable chemical substances; 3) equipment, protective systems and components where the explosion can occur by reaction of substances with other oxidizers than atmospheric oxygen or by other hazardous reactions or by o

42、ther than atmospheric conditions; BS EN 1127-1:2011EN 1127-1:2011 (E) 7 4) equipment intended for use in domestic and non-commercial environments where potentially explosive atmospheres may only rarely be created, solely as a result of the accidental leakage of fuel gas; 5) personal protective equip

43、ment covered by Directive 89/686/EEC; 6) seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units together with equipment on board such vessels or units; 7) means of transport, i.e. vehicles and their trailers intended solely for transporting passengers by air or by road, rail or water networks, as well as means

44、of transport insofar as such means are designed for transporting goods by air, by public road or rail networks or by water; vehicles intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere shall not be excluded; 8) the design and construction of systems containing desired, controlled combustion proce

45、sses, unless they can act as ignition sources in potentially explosive atmospheres. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
