39、BS EN 60079-17:201460079-17 IEC:2013 7 INTRODUCTION Electrical installations in hazardous areas possess features specially designed to render them suitable for operations in such atmospheres. It is essential for reasons of safety in those areas that, throughout the life of such installations, the in
40、tegrity of those special features is preserved. This standard provides the details for initial inspection and on-going inspections as either; a) regular periodic inspections thereafter, or, b) continuous supervision by skilled personnel. When necessary, maintenance may also be needed. Correct functi
41、onal operation of hazardous area installations does not mean, and should not be interpreted as meaning, that the integrity of the special features referred to above is preserved. Inspections are carried out in accordance with this standard, however for older installations the details for the equipme
42、nt and installations requirements should be referenced to the standards applied at the date of the installation. NOTE Standards applied at the date of installation may not have been IEC standards. BS EN 60079-17:2014 8 60079-17 IEC:2013 EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Part 17: Electrical installations inspect
43、ion and maintenance 1 Scope This part of the IEC 60079 series applies to users and covers factors directly related to the inspection and maintenance of electrical installations within hazardous areas only, where the hazard may be caused by flammable gases, vapours, mists, dusts, fibres or flyings. I
44、t does not include: other fundamental installation and inspection requirements for electrical installations; the verification of electrical equipment; the repair and reclamation of explosion protected equipment (see IEC 60079-19). This standard supplements the requirements of IEC 60364-6. In the cas
45、e of dusts, fibres or flyings the level of housekeeping may influence the inspection and maintenance requirements. This standard is intended to be applied where there can be a risk due to the presence of explosive gas or dust mixtures with air or combustible dust layers under normal atmospheric cond
46、itions. It does not apply to: underground mining areas, dusts of explosives that do not require atmospheric oxygen for combustion, pyrophoric substances. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its app
