25、13:2017 IEC 2017 5 INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION _ EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Part 13: Equipment protection by pressurized room “p“ and artificially ventilated room “v“ FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
26、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 electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards,
27、Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)“). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory
28、 work. International, governmental and non- governmental 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 organization
29、s. 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 has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of reco
30、mmendations 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 accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by a
31、ny 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 regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional pu
32、blication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by inde
33、pendent certification bodies. 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
34、 personal 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 Normativ
35、e references 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 responsib
36、le for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60079-13 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 31: Equipment for explosive atmospheres This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This
37、 edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) modification of the title of this document to include artificially ventilated room “v“ in addition to pressurized room “p“; b) addition of types of protection “pb“, “pc“, and “vc“ and removal of ty
38、pes of protection “px“, “py“, “pz“ and “pv“; c) definition of the differences between pressurization and artificial ventilation types of protection; 6 IEC 60079-13:2017 IEC 2017 d) removal of protection of rooms with an inert gas or a flammable gas from the scope of this document; e) addition of an
39、informative annex to include examples of applications where types of protection pressurization or artificial ventilation or pressurization and artificial ventilation can be used and associated guidelines. The text of this document is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 31/1309/FD
40、IS 31/1317/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this document 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. This document is to be used in conjunction with the principles of ha
41、zardous area classification from IEC 60079-10-1 and artificial ventilation for the protection of analyser(s) houses from IEC 60079-16. A list of all parts in the IEC 60079 series, published under the general title Explosive atmospheres, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that
42、 the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website 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. A bili
43、ngual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. IEC 60079-13:2017 IEC 2017 7 INTRODUCTION This part of IEC 60079 gives requirements for the design, construction, assessment, verification and marking of rooms used to protect internal equipment by pressurization or artificial ventilat
44、ion or both as applicable when located in an explosive gas atmosphere or combustible dust atmosphere hazardous area with or without an internal source of a flammable gas or vapour. It also includes a room located in a non-hazardous area that has an internal source of release of a flammable gas or va
45、pour. This document deals with rooms that are partially constructed in a manufacturers facility and intended to have the final installation completed on-site, as well as rooms that are constructed completely on-site. Rooms partially constructed in a manufacturers facility may include third- party ve
46、rification. For rooms built on-site, this document can be used by plant operators as a guide for assessment of those facilities. This document represents a major technical revision of the requirements for equipment protection by pressurized room “p“ and artificially ventilated room “v“ and should be
47、 considered as introducing all new requirements. 8 IEC 60079-13:2017 IEC 2017 EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Part 13: Equipment protection by pressurized room “p“ and artificially ventilated room “v“ 1 Scope This part of IEC 60079 gives requirements for the design, construction, assessment, verification and
48、marking of rooms used to protect internal equipment: located in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 or Zone 21 or Zone 22 explosive atmosphere (an area normally requiring an equipment protection level (EPL) Gb, Gc, Db or Dc) without an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by pressurization; located in
49、 a Zone 2 explosive atmosphere (an area normally requiring EPL Gc) with or without an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by artificial ventilation; located in a non-hazardous area, containing an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by artificial ventilation; located in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 or Zone 21 or Zone 22 explosive atmosphere (an area normally requiring EPL Gb, Gc, Db or Dc), containing an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by both press
