Explosive Atmospheres - Electrical Installations Design, Selection and Erection
Also Known As:
BS EN 60079-14:2014 is a part of the IEC 60079 series and it outlines the specific requirements for the design, selection, erection, and initial inspection of electrical installations in explosive atmospheres. The standard applies to all types of electrical equipment, including fixed, portable, transportable, and personal, as well as permanent or temporary installations.
The standard also highlights the importance of additional protection requirements for equipment that needs to meet other environmental conditions, such as protection against water ingress and resistance to corrosion.
The document is structured in several sections, covering topics such as the scope, normative references, definitions, general requirements, selection of equipment, protection from sparking, electrical protection, switch-off and electrical isolation, cables and wiring systems, luminaires, electric heating systems, and additional requirements for different types of protection, among others.
BS EN 60079-14:2014 replaces the previous version of the standard, BS EN 60079-14:2008.
