What is BS EN 60079-29-1:2016+A1:2022 about?
This is the first of four standards in Part 29 of the international series on explosive atmospheres. Part 29-1 covers general requirements for constructing and testing gas detectors that detect and measure flammable gas or vapour concentrations with air. BS EN 60079-29-1:2016+A1:2020 is the 2020 amendment of the 2016 standard.
Who is BS EN 60079-29-1:2016+A1:2022 for ?

Why should you use BS EN 60079-29-1:2016+A1:2022?
It specifies general requirements for construction, testing and performance, and describes the test methods that apply to portable, transportable and fixed equipment for the detection and measurement of flammable gas or vapour concentrations with air.
Such equipment, or parts thereof, is intended for use in explosive atmospheres and in mines susceptible to firedamp.
BS EN 60079-29-1:2016+A1:2022 specifically applies to flammable gas detection equipment with a measuring range...
