IEC 60079-17:2013 PDF

Scope: This part of the IEC 60079 series applies to users and covers factors directly related to the inspection and maintenance of electrical installations within hazardous areas only@ where the hazard may be caused by flammable gases@ vapours@ mists@ dusts@ fibres or flyings. It does not include: other fundamental installation and inspection requirements for electrical installations; the verification of electrical equipment; the repair and reclamation of explosion protected equipment (see IEC 60079-19). This standard supplements the requirements of IEC 60364-6. In the case of dusts@ fibres or flyings the level of housekeeping may influence the inspection and maintenance requirements. This standard is intended to be applied where there can be a risk due to the presence of explosive gas or dust mixtures with air or combustible dust layers under normal atmospheric conditions. It does not apply to: underground mining areas@ dusts of explosives that do not require atmospheric oxygen for combustion@ pyrophoric substances.
