This European Standard specifies the basic method and requirements for design, construction, testing and
marking of non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in air of gas,
vapour, mist and dusts. Such atmospheres can also exist inside the equipment. In addition, the external
atmosphere can be drawn inside the equipment by natural breathing produced as a result of fluctuations in the
equipment’s internal operating pressure, and/or temperature.
This European Standard is valid for atmospheres having pressures ranging from 0,8 bar to 1,1 bar and
temperatures ranging from - 20 °C to + 60 °C., i.e. equipment built to this European Standard will be
satisfactory to any service conditions within this range unless otherwise specified.
