    Equipment for explosive atmospheres (ATEX) Directive (2014/34/EU)

      Last Official Journal reference

    Friday 12th of August 2016

      Description:

    Explosive atmospheres - Part 31: Equipment dust ignition protection by enclosure 't'

      Purpose

    This part of IEC 60079 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. 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 shall take 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 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.
