Explosionsfähige Atmosphäre - Teil 35-2: Kopfleuchten für die Verwendung in schlagwettergefährdeten Grubenbauen - Gebrauchstauglichkeit und andere sicherheitsrelevante Themen (IEC 60079-35-2:2011); Deutsche Fassung EN 60079-35-2:2012

Overview

This part of DIN EN 60079-35 (VDE 0170-14) details those performance and other safety features of caplights, including those with a point of connection for another equipment, not covered in DIN EN 60079-35-1 (VDE 0170-14-1), but which are important for the safety and working conditions of the user. It may also be applied to caplights for use in mines not likely to be endangered by firedamp. The general revision and updating of DIN EN 62013-2 (VDE 0170-14-2):2007-02 has been necessitated by the advent of new technologies related to caplight design, in particular those related light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. It is intended that there should be a stronger link between Part 1 (Construction) and Part 2 (Performance) of this standard by upgrading the reference in the scope of Part 1 from a note to a requirement. In addition as this standard is now to become one of the DIN EN 60079 (VDE 0170) series, changes have been made to bring it more in line with others in the series by cross referencing. This has enabled there to be a reduction in the number and length of clauses in this standard. The responsible committee is DKE/K 241 "Schlagwetter- und explosionsgeschützte elektrische Betriebsmittel" ("Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
