group I - equipment for use in mines (ore mines) dangerous due to the volume of ore gas and/or 
flammable dust;  
group II - equipment for use in other pot entially explosive environment.  
9. Equipment of group II depending on the properties  of a potentially expl osive atmosphere for 
which it is intended, is divided into subgroups A, B and C.  10. Equipment intended for use in mines (ore mine s), in which, in addition to mine gas may be 
other components as well, must conform to require ments applicable to eq uipment of group I, as 
well as the subgroup of group II whic h corresponds to such potenti ally explosive atmosphere.  
11. By level of protection from explosion equipment of groups I and II is divided into the 
following categories:  
1) М3 and 3 – anti-explosive equipm ent of high reliability, with the level of protection from 
explosion 2, which ensures operation and prot ection from explosion of the equipment only on 
condition of producer’s compliance with normal operating regime.

in which under normal operating conditions creation of a potentially explosive atmosphere is 
unlikely, or in the case it emerged – it will not last long;  
2) М2 and 2 - equipment protected from explosi on with the level of protection of 1, which 
ensures operation and protection from explosion not only in the case of producer’s compliance 
with  the normal operating regi me, but also in the event of one unlikely damage, provided for 
under standards for relevant type s of protection from explosion.  
Equipment of the specified categor ies is intended for use in potenti ally explosive zones of class 
1, in which potentially explosive environmen t can emerge under normal operating conditions.  
In the event of emergence of  a potentially explosive atmosphere equipment of category М2 must 
be shut down;  
3) М1 and 1 – equipment particularly protected from  explosion with the level of protection from 
explosion 0, which ensures operation of additional, compared to level М2 and 2, equipment for 
protection from explosion, provide d for under standards for releva nt types of protection from 
explosion.  
The said equipment must be able to preserve it s capacity to operate in case of emergence of a 
potentially explosive atmosphere and to ensure protection from explosi on in the event of two 
probable damages or to have two separate facilities for protection from explosion.  
Equipment of such categories is intended for use in potentially explosive zones of class 0, in 
which potentially explosive environment is presen t all the time or during an extended period of 
time.  
12. Introduction of equipment and protective system s into circulation shall be allowed in the 
event if they were designed, pr oduced and tested in conformity with these Technical regulations, 
conform to safety requirements and ensure prot ection from danger to people, animals, property 
and environment when installed, serviced and operating.  
13. Persons responsible for introdu ction into circulation of equi pment and protective systems 
(the producer, his author ized representative or supplier), ar e required to take measures to:  
comply with provisions of conformity assessmen t procedures in accordance with these Technical 
regulations;  
declare and affix the national mark of conformity  in compliance with these Technical regulations 
in the event of positive results of assessment of conformity.  14. At trade fairs, exhibitions, presentations, et c., it will be allowed to demonstrate equipment 
and protective systems that do not conform to requirements of these Technical regulations, if 
such equipment and systems will bear markings denoting that such products are not intended for 
introduction into circulation unless put in co nformity with requirements of these Technical 
regulations.  
During assembly, disassembly and demonstration of  the equipment it will be necessary to take 
relevant safety measures to gua rantee protection of people.  
15. In the event where it has been established th at the equipment or protective systems marked 
with the national mark of conformity, in the course  of intended use may present a risk for people, 
animals, property and environment, a designate d authority will immediately report it to the 
central executive authority in th e area of technical regulation, specifying reasons of this non-
compliance, which may result from:  
non-conformity to principal requirements specified in th ese Technical regulations;  
sub-quality implementation of national standards;  flaws in national standards.  16. The central executive authority in the area of  technical regulation shall take all necessary 
measures to exclude such equipment or prot ective systems from the circulation, stop their 
supplies to the market and introduction in operati on, as well as measures against legal persons 
that affixed the national mark of conformity.  
17. Any decision passed in accordance with th ese Technical regulations, which restricts 
introduction into circulation or requires exclus ion from the circulation of the equipment or 
protective systems, must be substantiated. Such a decision shall be notif ied to parties concerned 
simultaneously with the information concerning le gal protection measures which they may apply 
in accordance with the legislation.  
Safety requirements to equipment and protective systems  
18. Equipment and protective systems shall be  designed taking into account requirements 
concerning comprehensive protection from explos ion, in accordance wi th which the producer 
will be required to to implemen t measures for purposes of:  
prevention of creation of a potentia lly explosive atmosphere due to production processes, as well 
as operation of the equipmen t or protective systems;  
prevention of catching fire in a potentially explosive atmosphere from electric or non-electric 
sources of fire;  
immediate termination of the process of devel oping explosion, and/or limiting the space in which 
an explosion can occur.  
Equipment and protective systems must be desi gned and produced taking into account possible 
damages during their operation, possibility of thei r use for purposes other than intended and their 
operation in actual and possible conditi ons of the surrounding atmosphere.  Equipment and protective systems that are subject  to special examination, servicing and repair 
shall be developed and produced in complia nce with requirements of these Technical 
regulations.  
19. Equipment and protective syst ems shall be complemented w ith operation instructions 
including:  
information concerning application of the na tional mark of conformity of equipment or 
protective systems;  
information required for safe assembly and disassembly, introduction in operation, use, 
servicing, repair (including emergency re pair) and tune-up of the equipment;  
information concerning class of potentially explosive zones in wh ich equipment and protective 
systems can be installed;  
electric parameters, pressure level, maximu m temperature of the surface and surrounding 
atmosphere;  
particular conditions of operation;  
principal characteristics of devi ces which can be additionally provided along with the equipment 
or protective system;  
necessary drawings and charts for assembly a nd disassembly, information required to guarantee 
safety.  
20. Materials that are used to manufacture equipm ent and protective systems should not cause an 
explosion.  
Under operating conditions envisaged by the producer  there should not be a reaction between the 
materials used and components of the potential ly explosive atmosphere that could have a 
negative impact on the level of protection from explosion.  
Materials must be such that possible changes in  their characteristics (compatibility with other 
materials, resistance to corrosion and wear, electric conductivity, impact strength, aging, 
temperature – related changes, etc.) would not be able to cause reduction of the level an 
protection from explosion.  
21. To ensure compliance with safety require ments during the entire period of operation, 
equipment and protective systems must be designed and produced in accordance with the 
modern level of science and engineering in  the area of protecti on from explosions.  
Ex-components and spare parts for equipment a nd protective systems shall be designed and 
produced so that during their use they w ould ensure protection from explosion.  
Equipment capable of emitting flammable gases or dust must be designed and produced "in an 
enclosed version".  
Equipment that has openings and connections which are not tight must be designed so that 
emitting flammable gases or dust would not lead to creation of a potentially explosive 
atmosphere.  22. Equipment and protective systems, intended for use in a dusty atmosphe re, must be produced 
so that the dust settling on the surface would not catch fire and that the equipment and systems would allow easy removal of dust. Temperature on the surface of parts of the equipment must be 
lower than the temperature of dust smoldering and the temperature of flashing of mixtures of air 
and dust. For this purposes devices re ducing the temperature shall be used.  
In the course of computation of thermo conv ection and maximum temperature of parts of the 
equipment it will be necessary to take into acc ount the thickness of the layer of settled dust.  
Equipment must be dust-proof.  
23. Equipment and protective systems that are subj ected to outside impact  shall be required to 
have auxiliary protective equipment and be able to withstand outside imp act without reduction of 
the level protection from explosion.  
24. In the event where equipment and protective systems are placed within the casing which is 
part of equipment for protection from explos ion, the casing can be opened only using special 
tools or in compliance with applic ation of the rules for protection.  
Parts of the equipm ent of categories М1 and 1, which may be sources of fire, can be opened only 
in the turned-off state or are produced under the category of protection from explosion "sparkless 
electric circuit".  
Parts of the equipment of categories М2 and 2, which may be a cause  for an explosion, can be 
opened only after the equipment is shut down or  through respective blocking systems, or are 
produced under the category of protection from  explosion "sparkless  electric circuit".  
Parts of the equipment that can be opened must  bear warning messages affixed to them by the 
producer.  
25. Equipment and protective systems must be de veloped and produced so that it would be 
possible to avoid traumas due to direct or indirect contact, to  ensure absence of dangerous 
overheating or external radiation of accessible parts of the equipmen t, as well as to eliminate a 
possibility of a danger of non-el ectric nature, as well as a danger caused by overloaded 
equipment.  
26. For prevention of dangerous overloading of th e equipment at the stage of designing it is 
necessary to provide for measur ing, regulating and controlling devi ces, for instance – automatic 
circuit breakers, devices limiting temperature, diffe rential relays of pressure, flow meters, time 
lag relays, speeding indicator s and/or similar devices.  
27. If parts of the equipment that may cause a fire in a potentially explosive atmosphere, are 
located within a casing, it will be necessary to ensure the ability of the casing to withstand 
internal pressure in case of an explosion inside it and to prevent spreadin g of the explosion into 
the outside potentially explosive environment.  
28. To ensure protection from explosion, it will be necessary to eliminat e the following potential 
sources of fire:  
flames, sparkles and electric ar ch, high temperature on the surface,  radiation in the optical and 
electromagnetic ranges;  accumulation of electro-static charges that can  cause dangerous electric discharges;  
presence in parts of the equipment of diffused el ectric currents and leaking currents that can lead 
to dangerous corrosion, sparkles or surface overhea ting which can create a possibility of fire;  
overheating as a result of friction or impact, for instance between materials and parts that are in 
contact with each other while rotating, or in  case of obstruction from outside items.  
Equipment and protective systems must be e quipped with built-in measuring, controlling and 
regulating devices or must be designed so that  processes of pressure equalization would not 
cause impact waves or pressures which may lead to an explosion.  
In the event of changes in the surrounding at mosphere (within the range specified by the 
producer) and outside impacts (humidity, vibrations , pollution, etc.), equipment and protective 
systems will be required to conti nue perform its functions safely.  
Component parts of equipment and protective syst ems must be designed to withstand relevant 
mechanical and temperature impacts and will be  required to withstand impacts of actual or 
possible aggressive substances.  
29. Protective devices must opera te regardless of any necessary for operation of the equipment 
measuring, directing, regulat ing and controlling unit.  
Possibility of quick identificati on of damages in protective devi ce shall be ensured by relevant 
technical facilities.  
Emergency shut-down of equipment must be car ried out directly (without any intermediate 
command from the software) by the appropriate c ontrolling device, with relevant signal being 
generated.  
In the event of damage, a protective device, eq uipment and/or protective systems must remain 
safe.  
Protective devices that carry out emergency shut- down must be prevented fr om a repeat start-up 
of operation. Operation of these devices can be  resumed only after complete elimination of 
reasons for shut-down, and a new start-up will be carried out only on condition of resumption of 
the normal regime.  
To ensure the maximum possible level of safety, controlling devices and indicators must 
conform to requirements of ergonomics  and protection from explosion.  
Devices performing measuring func tions must be designed and pr oduced taking into account of 
special requirements to operati on and conditions of use in a pot entially explosiv e atmosphere 
with a possibility of examination of th eir functioning and accuracy of readings.  
When designing protective device s performing measuring functions a safety coefficient shall be 
applied to ensure, in case of maintaining prop er operating conditions a nd taking into account 
possible errors of measuring systems, the adequa te level of emergency threshold for prevention 
of possible explosion and/or fire in a potentially explosive atmosphere.  
When designing software that controls protective  systems and protective devices, particular 
attention shall be paid to prevention of risks relating to  errors in the program.  30. Equipment and protective systems included in  the automated processes must be equipped 
with manual shut-down system in case of devi ation from regular operating conditions, provided 
it does not affect safety. Accumu lated energy must be localized or diffused very quickly.  
If after the shut-down of  power supply the equipment and pr otective systems become sources of 
risk, a safe state of the system must be en sured regardless of other production systems.  
Equipment and protective systems must be equi pped with safe connections with cables and 
wires.  
Protective systems with devices for identifying or alerting in  connection with a potentially 
explosive atmosphere must be complemented  with appropriate guidance materials.  
Protective systems must be design ed and produced so that to prevent the spread of an explosion 
by way of a chain reaction, detonation or sp reading of the fire that has emerged.  
During the shut-down of power supply protective systems must be operating during the period of 
time needed to eliminate the dangerous situation.  
Choice of the materials for equipment and protecti ve systems must be made taking into account 
possible maximum pressure caused by the e xplosion and its temperature impact.  
At the stage of development of pr otective systems, the effects of possible surge in the pressure in 
the peripheral equipment and attached pipe lines must be taken into account.  
In the event where a level of the impact of pressure on the protectiv e systems exceeds their 
strength, one should employ such devices for reduc tion of pressure that would not create risks 
for people.  
Disconnecting devices intended for fa st shut-down of equipment in case of an explosion must be 
explosion-proof and stable.  
Protective systems must have th e acceptable threshold for shut- down of power supplies of input 
and output devices, as well as thos e parts of the equipment which can not ensure safe operation.  
Design of protective systems must allow suffici ently quick identification of any damages.  
The basic principle for designing protective systems is to ensure safety in case of error.  
In case of equipment with programming/software  control protective systems and devices must 
operate directly (for instance, using disconnect ors) without use of su ch programming/software 
control.  
Conformity assessment procedures  
31. Assessment of conformity of equipment to re quirements of these Tec hnical regulations shall 
be carried out by the producer or his authorized  representative by appl ying procedures (modules
