19、SION FROM UL 1 ANSI/ISA-60079-25-2011 (R2015) ANSI/UL 60079-25 November 20, 2015 General Notes This UL Standard is based on IEC Publication IEC 60079-25: Second edition, Explosive Atmospheres - Part 25: Intrinsically Safe Electrical Systems, and is copyrighted by the IEC. Efforts have been made to s
20、ynchronize the UL edition number with that of the corresponding IEC standard with which this standard is harmonized. As a result, one or more UL edition numbers have been skipped to match that of the IEC edition number. This is the common ISA and UL standard for Explosive Atmospheres - Part 25: Intr
21、insically Safe Electrical Systems. It is the Second edition of ANSI/ISA-60079-25 (superseding ANSI/ISA-12.02.05)-2011 and the Second edition of ANSI/UL 60079-25. The document is a modification of the IEC document and includes U.S. national differences encompassing both additions and deletions of inf
22、ormation. As the publication of this standard by UL is being done as a result of a simple reaffirmation of ISAs currently published standard, National Differences are shown using ISAs format. All future publications of this standard will show National Differences using ULs format. This common standa
23、rd was prepared by the (ISA) - The International Society of Automation on November 23, 2011 but is now being maintained by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the respons
24、ibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of harmonization This standard adopts the IEC text with national differences. The requirements in this Standard are not presented in different formats by UL and ISA as this is a simple reaffirmation of
25、an existing ISA standard. Therefore, the UL version of the standard is being published as the ISA version of the standard which illustrates the national differences from the IEC text through the use of legislative text (strike-out and underline). Interpretations The interpretation by the SDO of an i
26、dentical or equivalent standard shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the SDO. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identified, a revision shall be proposed as soon as possible to each of the SD
27、Os to more accurately reflect the intent.

28、formation purposes and is not part of ANSI/ISA-60079-25-2011(R2015). This document has been prepared as part of the service of ISA toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this document should not be static but should be subject to periodic review. The ISA St
29、andards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA standar
30、ds of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavour to introduce SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical r
31、eports to the greatest extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System, published by the American Society for Testing any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governm
32、ental and nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or a
33、greements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international u
34、se 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 accurate, 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 pro
35、mote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indi
36、cated 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 with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach
37、 to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees)
38、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 references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
39、 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 for identifying any or all such patent rights. UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PE

This second edition cancels and replaces t
41、he first edition published in 2003 and constitutes a technical revision. The significant changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: extension of the scope from Group II to Groups I, II and III; introduction of level of protection “ic”; addition of requirements for cables and mult
42、i-core cables; reference to IEC 60079-11 regarding the termination of intrinsically safe circuit; requirements for the assessment of an expanded and clarified intrinsically safe system regarding level of protection “ic”, simple apparatus and faults in multi-core cables; introduction of predefined sy
43、stems and merging of the system requirements for FISCO from IEC 60079-27; addition of requirements for simple intrinsically safe systems containing both lumped inductance and lumped capacitance; addition of a method for testing the electrical parameters of cables; additional information for the use
44、of simple apparatus in systems. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 31G/202/FDIS 31G/203/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.
