The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this do
20、cument. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this ty
21、pe C standard. During the preparation of this European Standard, the hazards which have been identified as being directly related to the use of conveyor belts are: a) hazards associated with the discharge of static electrical energy; b) hazards associated with the impingement of small naked flames o
22、n the cover and/or carcass of a conveyor belt at rest; c) hazards caused by the stalling of a conveyor belt and the continued operation of the driving mechanism causing localized heating of the conveyor belt through contact with the driving drum or cylinder or some other source of frictional heat; d
23、) hazards caused by the propagation of a flame along a belt which has been exposed to a relatively high energy source such as a fire. The risk, or probable rate of occurrence of these hazards and the degree of harm they can cause will vary depending upon the particular circumstances of the applicati
24、on or site of application, which are many and varied. Consequently, the level of safety required will vary from one application to another, depending upon the risks judged to be pertinent. The hazards listed above should not be taken as the only properties affecting safety in operation. Other aspect
25、s such as health or environmental requirements should be considered. Depending on the individual end use requirement, these other factors can affect the category of belt selected and additional safety precautions may need to be employed. This European Standard is therefore designed to enable the use
26、r to select the category of conveyor belt most suited to the particular circumstances of the application. BS EN 12882:2015EN 12882:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies electrical and flammability safety requirements for general purpose conveyor belts not intended for use in undergroun
27、d installations and a means of categorizing conveyor belts in terms of the level of safety sought in their end use application. This European Standard does not provide electrical safety requirements for volume resistance which may be measured by the methods in EN ISO 21178 and which is relevant to s
28、ome types of light conveyor belts. This European Standard is not applicable to conveyor belts which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. NOTE 1 Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres can
29、be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this European Standard. The present standard is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 94/9/EC, this being covered in EN 14973. NOTE 2 EN 12882 is not a product standard bu
30、t is intended to help users of conveyor belts to select the required electrical and flammability safety properties needed following a suitable risk assessment. No requirements are, therefore, included for marking, information to be supplied, etc., these matters being covered in relevant product stan
31、dards such as EN ISO 14890 and EN ISO 15236-1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

35、he ignition source has been removed 3.2 afterglow persistence of glowing, after cessation of flaming or, if no flaming occurs, after the ignition source has been removed BS EN 12882:2015EN 12882:2015 (E) 6 3.3 flame, noun zone of combustion in the gaseous phase usually with emission of light 3.4 fla
36、me, verb to undergo combustion in the gaseous phase with emission of light 3.5 glowing made luminous by heat, (without flame) 3.6 undamaged part remaining of a conveyor belt after the termination of the propane gallery fire test described in accordance with EN 12881-1 and which shows no evidence of
37、embrittlement, cracking, blistering or other blemishes not originally present 4 Safety requirements 4.1 General Conveyor belts within each category (1, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B and 5C) shall meet the test requirements as indicated in Table 1 and in the specific subclauses below. 4.2 Electrical
38、 conductivity 4.2.1 When tested in accordance with EN ISO 284, all general purpose conveyor belts shall have an electrical surface resistance not greater than 300 M. 4.2.2 Light conveyor belts as described in EN ISO 21183-1 shall have an electrical surface resistance not greater than 300 M when test
39、ed in accordance with EN ISO 21178 unless the conditions described in 4.2.3 are met. 4.2.3 Light conveyor belts with an internal conductive layer shall not generate an electrostatic charge resulting in a surface potential of more than 1 000 V when tested in accordance with EN ISO 21179. NOTE Under s
40、pecial service conditions, whereby higher electrostatic charges resulting in surface potentials of more than 1000 V can be generated due to friction between belt surface and conveyed goods, or due to friction within the conveyed goods like non-conductive bulk goods such as sugar, flour or plastic gr
41、anules. The requirements for safety in this standard do not consider such critical service conditions, but only the run of the empty light conveyor belt and the electrostatic charges generated thereby. In certain circumstances (e.g. in the transportation of electronic components), the dissipation of
42、 electrical charges through the belt may be required. This requirement can be specified in terms of volume resistance as measured by the method described in EN ISO 21178. However, the requirements for safety in this standard do not consider the volume resistance of light conveyor belts for the alloc
43、ation to the different safety categories. 4.3 Flame retardation 4.3.1 Conveyor belts in category 2A, or 3A, (see Clause 5 and Table 1), when tested in accordance with EN ISO 340 with covers intact, shall have an aggregate of the times for duration of afterflame for all six tests of less than 45 s an
44、d no individual result shall be greater than 15 s. BS EN 12882:2015EN 12882:2015 (E) 7 4.3.2 Conveyor belts in category 2B, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B and 5C (see Clause 5 and Table 1), when tested in accordance with EN ISO 340 with covers intact and also with covers removed, shall have an aggregate of the
45、times for duration of afterflame for each group of six tests, (i.e. six tests with covers intact and six tests with covers removed) of less than 45 s and no individual result shall be greater than 15 s. 4.4 Fire simulation 4.4.1 Conveyor belts in categories 4A and 4B, 5A, 5B and 5C (see Clause 5 and
46、 Table 1), when tested in accordance with Method A, C or D of EN 12881-1:2014, shall retain a length of undamaged conveyor belt as indicated in Table 1. 4.4.2 The test methods in accordance with EN 12881-1 are not applicable for light conveyor belts as described in EN ISO 21183-1. Therefore light co
47、nveyor belts can only be assigned to the categories 1, 2A and 2B. 4.5 Drum friction 4.5.1 Conveyor belts in categories 3A, 3B and 4B (see Clause 5 and Table 1), when tested in accordance with Method B1 of EN 1554:2012 (constant load of 343 N), shall exhibit no flame whatsoever throughout the test, w
48、hich shall continue for 60 min duration, or until the belt breaks, whichever is the shorter time. 4.5.2 Conveyor belts in category 5A (see Clause 5 and Table 1), when tested in accordance with Method B2 of EN 1554:2012, shall exhibit no flame whatsoever throughout the test, which shall continue for
49、150 min duration, or until the belt breaks, whichever is the shorter time. 4.5.3 Conveyor belts in category 5B (see Clause 5 and Table 1), when tested in accordance with Method B2 of EN 1554:2012, shall exhibit no flame or glowing whatsoever throughout the test, which shall continue for 150 min duration, or until the belt breaks, whichever is the shorter time. 4.5.4 Conveyor belts in category 5C (see Clause 5 and Table 1), when tested in accordance with Method B2 of EN 1554:2012, shall exhibit no flame or glowing whatsoever throughout the test, which shall conti
