1、BSI Standards PublicationExplosive atmospheresPart 18: Equipment protection by encapsulation “m”BS EN 60079-18:2015BS EN 60079-18:2015 BRITISH STANDARDNational forewordThis British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 60079-18:2015. It is identical to IEC 60079-18:2014. It supersedes BS EN 60079-

2、18:2009 which is withdrawn.BSI, as a member of CENELEC, is obliged to publish EN 60079-18 as a British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that the UK committee voted against its approval as a European Standard.This was due to an internal inconsistency in clause 7.2.Clause 7.2.1 states

3、 that faults are not taken into account for “mc”, whereas the last sentence of 7.2.4.2 specifies absolute requirements for “mc” to avoid faults, making the requirements for some “mc” circuits more arduous than the same circuit for “ma” or “mb”.As this is not new text for this edition, it is assumed

4、that in many cases this has been resolved by the manufacturer and certifier reading 7.2.1 and then assuming, for “mc” equipment, that there is no need to read further into 7.2, therefore ignoring 7.2.4.2.As it is not possible to satisfy both 7.2.1 and 7.2.4.2 at the same time, it is the opinion of t

5、he UK committee that 7.2.4.2 is not intended to be observed for “mc” equipment, and they have requested that IEC issue a formal corrigendum to that effect.It is believed that the “mc” column of Table 1 was erroneously copied from 60079-15 and the purpose changed. In 60079-15, the table referred to s

6、egregation under 0.4 mm of compound in an IP54 enclosure for Ex nA equipment. That is to say that a 0.4 mm layer of encapsulant was considered to be better than conformal coating in terms of environmental protection. It was not related to the ability of the encapsulation to withstand an internal fau

7、lt. The table was not applied to Ex n encapsulation and therefore should not have been applied to Ex mc.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee EXL/31, Equipment for explosive atmospheres.A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on re
