8、 Requirements This page intentionally left blank.26 July 2013 ANSI/ISA-60079-0 ANSI/UL 60079-0 5 General Notes This is the common ISA and UL standard for Explosive atmospheres Part 0: Equipment - General Requirements. It is the sixth edition of ANSI/ISA-60079-0 (superseding ANSI/ISA-60079-0 (12.00.0
9、1)-2009) and the sixth edition of ANSI/UL 60079-0. ANSI/ISA-60079-0 and ANSI/UL 60079-0 contain identical requirements, and identical publication dates. The presentation and format of the standards material may differ between the two published standards. This common standard was prepared by the Inte
10、rnational Society of Automation (ISA) and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purp
11、ose. Level of harmonization This standard adopts the IEC text with deviations. The requirements are presented in different formats. The ISA version of the standard illustrates the national differences from the IEC text through the use of legislative text (strike-out and underline). The UL version of
12、 the standard illustrates national differences immediately following the IEC text. National differences between the UL version and the ISA version shall be word for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpretation by the SDO of an identical or equivalent standard shall be based
13、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 SDOs to more accurately reflect the intent. UL Ef
14、fective Date The effective date for UL is the date of publication. However, the fifth edition of UL 60079-0 will also be effective until 1 September 2018.

28、iety of Automation (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. Toward this end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms and asks that they be addressed to the Secretary,

The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric system of units in ge
30、neral, 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 standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional de
31、alings 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 reports to the greatest extent possible. IEEE/ASTM SI 10, American National Standard for Metric Practice, and fu
32、ture revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors.

This standard and other standards supplementing this standard specify additional test requirements for equipment operating outside the standard temperature range, but further additional consideration and additional testing may be required for equipmen
47、t operating outside the standard atmospheric pressure range and standard oxygen content, particularly with respect to types of protection that depend on quenching of a flame such as flameproof enclosure “d” (IEC 60079-1) or limitation of energy, intrinsic safety “i” (IEC 60079-11). NOTE 1 Although t
48、he standard atmospheric conditions above give a temperature range for the atmosphere of -20 C to +60 C, the normal ambient temperature range for the equipment is 20 C to +40 C, unless otherwise specified and marked. See 5.1.1. It is considered that 20 C to +40 C is appropriate for most equipment and
49、 that to manufacture all equipment to be suitable for a standard atmosphere upper ambient temperature of +60 C would place unnecessary design constraints. NOTE 2 Requirements given in this standard result from an ignition hazard assessment made on electrical equipment. The ignition sources taken into account are those found associated with this type of equipment, such as hot surfaces, mechanically generated sparks, mechanical impacts resulting in thermite
