BS EN 1127-2:2014EN 1127-2:2014 (E) 5 Introduction General CEN and CENELEC are producing a series of standards to assist designers, manufa
28、cturers 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 prevention and protection, as hazards from
29、 explosions are to be considered in accordance with EN ISO 12100. In accordance with EN ISO 12100, it is a type A standard. Special considerations for mining Explosions can result from: materials processed or used by the equipment and components, e.g. minerals obtained as part of the winning process
30、; materials released by the equipment and components; materials in the vicinity of the equipment, protective systems and components; materials of which the equipment, protective systems and components are constructed. As the explosion protection of equipment, protective systems and components depend
31、s on: the design and construction of the equipment, protective systems and components; the intended use; the foreseeable misuse; the ambient conditions; the materials extracted and handled. This standard also includes safety aspects related to these factors, i.e. it is imperative that the manufactur
32、er consider how and for what the equipment, protective systems and components will be used and take this into account during their design and construction. Only in this way can hazards inherent in equipment, protective systems and components be reduced. NOTE 1 This standard can also serve as a guide
33、 for users of equipment, protective systems and components when assessing the risk of explosion in the workplace and selecting the appropriate equipment, protective systems and components. Mines can be either gassy or non-gassy depending upon the mineral/material being extracted and whether or not f
34、iredamp can occur in the workings. It is usual practice to consider all coal mines as gassy mines. Non-coal mines can, however, also be susceptible to the occurrence of firedamp, e.g. if minerals/materials are being extracted in the vicinity of oil-bearing strata or unworked coal seams which are dis
35、turbed by the extraction process or mines susceptible to outbursts of flammable gas. In mines where flammable minerals/materials are extracted, there can also be a risk of explosions because small particles of the extracted product can be blown into the air to form dust/air mixtures able to support
36、rapid combustion. Combustible dust can either be an explosion risk on its own (when in the form of an explosive dust/air mixture), or it can settle in layers which may be blown from the floor and sides of the roadways by a BS EN 1127-2:2014EN 1127-2:2014 (E) 6 firedamp explosion. In the latter case,
37、 the explosive violence can increase many times as more and more fuel in the form of combustible dust is raised by a blast wave and added to the flame as it travels along the roadways. The risk of an explosive atmosphere occurring and its consequences will therefore vary from mine to mine, depending
38、 on the type of mine, its layout, the mineral being extracted and the likelihood of firedamp and/or combustible dust occurring. In coal mining, firedamp and coal dust naturally associated with the coal is released by the activity of the miners. Therefore, the potential explosion risk is greater as a
39、 result of explosive air/gas or air/dust mixtures forming that cannot be totally excluded by the preventive measures taken. Firedamp/air mixtures are usually diluted by the ventilation and evacuated to the surface via the mine workings so that the gas content in normal operation is kept far below th
40、e lower explosion limit. However, as a result of system malfunction (e.g. fan failure), sudden release of large gas quantities (gas outbursts) or intensified gas release caused by decreasing air pressure or by increased coal production, the permissible gas concentration thresholds may be exceeded. T
41、he explosive atmosphere caused in this way, even though limited in space and/or time, may cause a hazard not just at its point of origin but also in the escape roads, waste air paths and other connected mine structures in the mine layout. Coal dust/air mixtures are usually neutralized at the dust so
42、urce by water sprays, dust removal systems on heading machines and/or treating with inert dust in order to reduce the explosive potential. However, an explosion hazard can exist if explosive dust can become airborne, e.g. at transfer points, in bunkers and other conveying systems. In contrast to sur
43、face industries, in gassy mines electrical and non-electrical equipment and mining personnel are in permanent contact with gas and/or dust/air mixtures which, under unfavourable conditions, may constitute explosive atmospheres. Accordingly, particularly stringent safety requirements are in force for
44、 explosion protection and escape possibilities in the event of a hazard. Due to the possibly devastating effects of underground gas/dust explosions, underground mining is permitted only well outside the explosion range. In gassy mines, the decision as to whether or not mine workers can operate in a
45、particular workplace depends upon the atmospheric conditions prevailing at the time. Traditionally, a factor of safety is also introduced so that it is common practice throughout the European member states for equipment to be de-energized or made safe and for miners to be withdrawn from their workpl
46、ace if the atmospheric conditions attain a specific percentage of the lower explosion limit (LEL) of methane (firedamp) in air as defined by the relevant national legislation of the member states. NOTE 2 The current limit values for disconnecting equipment and withdrawing personnel are different in
47、each member state. Two different ranges of explosive atmospheres originating from the intended installation and use of the equipment are taken into account when dealing with requirements for Equipment Groups M 2 and M 1: potentially explosive atmosphere range between 0 % and below LEL or above UEL u
48、p to 100 % of firedamp in air; explosive atmosphere range between LEL and UEL of firedamp in air. In mine workings with explosive atmospheres, only M 1 equipment is acceptable as it has a very high level of protection. M 1 equipment, e.g. telephones or gas measuring equipment may continue to be oper
49、ated in explosive atmospheres, because they are safe even in the event of rare equipment faults. This is ensured by the existence of two independent protective measures or double fail-safe systems. In mine workings with potentially explosive atmospheres, both M 1 and M 2 equipment may be used. M 2 equipment may be used as it has a high level of protection and is suitable for the severe conditions in mining. In an explosive atmospheres, M 2 equipment needs to be capable of being disconnected or made safe. BS EN 1127-2:2014EN 1127-
