This Europea
25、n Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2005. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN
26、by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 94/4EC of 23 March 1994. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document is to specify the requirements f
27、or the type of protection “Protection by flameproof enclosure” for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and should be used in conjunction with EN 13463-1 Non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres Basic method and requirements. According to the CEN/CENE
28、LEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malt

30、ectrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of gas, vapour, mist and/or combustible dust, contain effective ignition sources in normal operation and these have to be prevented from becoming an ignition source for the surrounding atmosphere in which they are used. One way
31、 of achieving this is to enclose the ignition sources so that an ignition of the atmosphere inside the enclosure is not transmitted to the outside atmosphere. This document describes one such way, known as protection by Flameproof enclosure d. The basic principle of ignition protection by the use of
32、 a flameproof enclosure, is that gases, or vapour, may enter the enclosure through the cover joints / flanges and if an explosive atmosphere inside the enclosure ignites, neither the enclosure will be deformed significantly, nor flame transmitted through the joints / flanges to the explosive atmosph
33、ere outside. For this reason the enclosure has to be both robust and have dimensionally controlled cover joints / flanges with maximum allowable safe gaps appropriate for the types of explosive gas / vapour likely to occur inside the equipment. Since its conception, protection by flameproof enclosur
34、e has been developed to allow many kinds of continuously sparking equipment to be used safely in places where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists. For electrical equipment, this type of protection is well known for protecting power arcing components and is defined and described in EN 60079-1.
35、As the electrical equipment standard contains the generic testing, verification and marking requirements, unnecessary duplication of the requirements in this non-electrical equipment document is avoided by cross reference to the electrical standard. In this document, only those differences necessary
36、 for the purpose of providing protection for non-electrical equipment are written in full. In contrast to this document EN 60079-1 does not consider explosive atmospheres formed by dusts, except for Group I, category M2 electrical equipment, where its associated general requirements document, EN 60079-0, states that flameproof equipment designed, constructed and tested for use in explosive atmospheres o
