IEC 60079 Series Explosive Atmosphere Standards
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60079 series of explosive atmosphere standards covers a wide array of important considerations when it comes to potentially explosive atmospheres. Dealing with general equipment requirements, gas detectors, intrinsically safe equipment, a variety of different methods of equipment protection, and moving on to the classification of areas, material characteristics, and some industry specific standards, the IEC 60079 series is truly expansive.
IEC 60079-0 Ed. 7.0 b:2017
IEC 60079-0:2017 specifies the general requirements for construction, testing and marking of Ex Equipment and Ex Components intended for use in explosive atmospheres. The standard atmospheric conditions (relating to the explosion characteristics of the atmosphere) under which it may be assumed that Ex Equipment can be operated are: -temperature –20 °C to +60 °C; -pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar); and -air with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % v/v. This part of IEC 60079 and other standards supplementing this standard specify additional test requirements for Ex Equipment operating outside the standard temperature range, but further additional consideration and additional testing may be required for Ex Equipment operating outside the standard atmospheric pressure range and standard oxygen content. Such additional testing may be particularly relevant with respect to Types of Protection that depend on quenching of a flame such as ‘flameproof enclosures “d”’ (IEC 60079-1) or limitation of energy, ‘intrinsic safety “i”’ (IEC 60079-11). This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition, published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

IEC 60079-10-2 Ed. 2.0 b:2015
IEC 60079-10-2:201 5 is concerned with the identification and classification of areas where explosive dust atmospheres and combustible dust layers are present, in order to permit the proper assessment of ignition sources in such areas. In this standard, explosive dust atmospheres and combustible dust layers are treated separately. In Clause 4, area classification for explosive dusts clouds is described, with dust layers acting as one of the possible sources of release. In Clause 7 other general considerations for dust layers are described. The examples in this standard are based on a system of effective housekeeping being implemented in the plant to prevent dust layers from accumulating. Where effective housekeeping is not present, the area classification includes the possible formation of explosive dust clouds from dust layers. The principles of this standard can also be followed when combustible fibres or flyings might cause a hazard. This standard is intended to be applied where there can be a risk due to the presence of explosive dust atmospheres or combustible dust layers under normal atmospher ic conditions. Please refer to the foreword of the document for a detailed listing of the significant technical changes from the previous edition.

IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2 Ed. 1.0 en:2015
IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2:2015(E) provides guidance for the application of electrical resistance trace heating systems in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present, with the exclusion of those classified as requiring EPL Ga/Da (traditional relationship to Zone 0 and Zone 20 respectively). This standard also provides guidance for explosive atmospheres incorporating the Division method of area classification that may be applied by some users of this standard. It provides recommendations for the design, installation, maintenance and repair of trace heating systems including associated control and monitoring equipment. It does not cover devices that operate by induction heating, skin effect heating or direct pipeline heating, nor those intended for stress relieving. This first edition of IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60079-30-2 published in 2007 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant changes, apart from a general review and updating of the first edition of IEC 60079-30-2, harmonization with IEEE Std.515, with respect to the previous edition: - the relocation of trace heater product design methodology and requirements to IEC/IEEE 60079-30-1; - the relocation and/or duplication of information on installation, maintenance, and repair to the MTs under SC31J for their addition into IEC 60079-14, IEC 60079-17, and IEC 60079-19; - the inclusion of more detailed information on safety showers and eyewash units; - the introduction of Annexes from IEEE Std. 515. Please refer to the Foreword of the document for the significance of changes between IEC 60079-30-2, Edition 1.0 (2007) and IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2, Edition 1.0 (2014).

IEC 60079 31 2013 is applicable to electrical equipment protected by enclosure and surface temperature limitation for use in explosive dust atmospheres It specifies requirements for design construction and testing of electrical equipment and Ex Components This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079 0 Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079 0 the requirement of this standard takes precedence This standard does not apply to dusts of explosives which do not require atmospheric oxygen for combustion or to pyrophoric substances This standard does not apply to electrical equipment or Ex Components intended for use in underground parts of mines as well as those parts of surface installations of such mines endangered by firedamp and or combustible dust This standard does not take account of any risk due to an emission of flammable or toxic gas from the dust Consideration of additional protective measures is required where the application of electrical equipment is in atmospheres which can contain combustible dust as well as explosive gas whether simultaneously or separately Where the electrical equipment has to meet other environmental conditions for example protection against ingress of water and resistance to corrosion additional measures can be necessary The measures used should not adversely affect the integrity of the enclosure This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008 This edition constitutes a technical revision The major technical changes include br The marked maximum surface temperature shall be measured on the external surfaces of the enclosure and the surfaces of the internal components for equipment with types of protection ta br Additional protection for arcing and sparking parts for ta br Test for internal enclosure for level ta added Keywords explosive dust atmospheres
IEC 60079-33 Ed. 1.0 b:2012
IEC 60079-33:2012 gives the specific methodology for the assessment and testing, and requirements for marking of electrical equipment, parts of electrical equipment and Ex components with special protection "s". This part of IEC 60079 applies to electrical equipment employing a method of protection not covered by any existing standard in the IEC 60079 series, electrical equipment employing one or more recognized types of protection where the design and construction is not fully compliant with the standard for the type of protection, electrical equipment where the intended use is outside the parameters of the scope of the standard for the type of protection.Key words: requirements for marking of electrical equipment, Ex components with special protection "s".
Explosive atmospheres - Part 34: Application of quality systems for ex product manufacture
ISO/IEC 80079-34:2018 specifies particular requirements and information for establishing and maintaining a quality management system to manufacture Ex Products in accordance with the certificates. While it does not preclude the use of other quality management systems that are compatible with the objectives of ISO 9001:2015 and which provide equivalent results, the minimum requirements are given in this document.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2011, and constitutes a full technical revision. The significant changes with respect to the previous edition should be considered as minor technical revisions. However, the clause numbering in regard to the previous edition has changed in order to be in line with ISO 9001:2015. The normal ôTable of Significant Changesö has not been included for this reason.This publication is published as a double logo standard. This standard should be read in conjunction with ISO 9001:2015
IEC 60079-35-1 Ed. 1.0 b:2011
"IEC 60079-35-1:2011 specifies requirements for the construction, testing and marking of caplights, including caplights with a point of connection for other equipment, for use in mines susceptible to firedamp (Group I - electrical equipment for explosive gas atmospheres as defined in IEC 60079-0). It deals only with the risk of the caplight becoming a source of ignition. The requirements for performance are in IEC 60079-35-2. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0 except as indicated in Table 1. This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 62013-1, published in 2005, and constitutes a full technical revision. The main technical differences with respect to the previious edition are: - the introduction of a means to achieve an equipment protection level (EPL) of Ma; - the introduction of a single clause relating to equipment construction replacing individual specific clauses for the headpiece, battery, cable and external charging contacts; - the deletion of statements relating to surface temperature, the rewording of statements relating to creepage and clearance and the addition of statements relating to thermal protection, electronic assemblies and additional circuitry; - specific referenc to lithium cells; - the addition of statements relating to battery recharging and protection against deep discharge."
IEC 60079-35-2 Ed. 1.0 b:2011
"IEC 60079-35-2:2011 details those performance and other safety features of caplights, including those with a point of connection for another equipment, not covered in IEC 60079-35-1, but which are important for the safety and working conditions of the user. It may also be applied to caplights for use in mines not likely to be endangered by firedamp. This first edition of IEC 60079-35-2 cancels and replaces the second edition (2005) of IEC 62013-2 published in 2005 and constitutes a full technical revision. The general revision and updating of Edition 2 of IEC 62013-2 has been necessitated by the advent of new technologies related to caplight design, in particular those related light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. It is intended that there should be a stronger link between Part 1 (Construction) and Part 2 (Performance) of this Standard by upgrading the reference in the Scope of part 1 from a note to a requirement. In addition as this Standard is now to become one of the IEC 60079 series, changes have been made to bring it more in line with others in the series by cross referencing. This has enabled there to be a reduction in the number and length of clauses in the Standard."
