Safety devices required for the safe functioning of equipment with respect to explosion risks; German version EN 50495:2010
Sicherheitseinrichtungen für den sicheren Betrieb von Geräten im Hinblick auf Explosionsgefahren; Deutsche Fassung EN 50495:2010
Overview
This European Standard specifies the safety requirements of electrical safety devices which are used to monitor the potential ignition sources of equipment in explosive atmospheres. This also includes safety devices which are operated outside areas with explosive atmospheres to ensure the safe function of equipment or protection systems for monitoring explosion hazards. The responsible Committee is K 241 "Schlagwetter- und explosionsgeschützte elektrische Betriebsmittel" ("Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Informational Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
