15、ternational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and el
16、ectronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical commit
17、tees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
18、Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee h
19、as representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accur
20、ate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regiona
21、l publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity
22、with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any pers
23、onal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative ref
24、erences cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible fo
25、r identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60079-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 31: Equipment for explosive atmospheres. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 1995, and constitutes a technical revision. This part is to b
26、e used in conjunction with IEC 60079-0:2004, Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres Part 0: General requirements. The significant changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: all requirements for third-party certification removed; added requirements for external connect
27、ions; collected all marking requirements in the marking clause; added requirements for instructions. SANS 60079-6:2009This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .60079-6 IEC:2007 7 NOTE Technical Committee 31 has appointed a task group to
28、 consider the possible expansion of this type of protection to include level of protection Gc and sparking contacts. If a need for such an expansion is demonstrated, the resulting changes could appear in the next edition, planned for 2013. The text of this standard is based on the following document
29、s: FDIS Report on voting 31/673/FDIS 31/687/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all the parts in the IEC
30、60079 series, under the general title Explosive atmospheres, can be found on the IEC website. Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing standards in this series will be updated at the time of a new edition. The committee has decided that the
31、contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed; withdrawn; replaced by a revised edition, or amended. S

33、ing of oil-immersed electrical equipment, oil-immersed parts of electrical equipment and Ex components in the type of protection oil immersion “o“, intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres. NOTE Type of protection oil immersion “o” provides equipment protection level (EPL) Gb. For further infor
34、mation, see Annex A. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. This standard is applicable to electrical equipment, parts of elec
35、trical equipment, and Ex components which, in the absence of oil immersion, are not ignition capable in normal operation as determined by IEC 60079-15 or IEC 60079-11. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
