DIN EN 60079-29-3 ; VDE 0400-3:2015-08
Explosive atmospheres - Part 29-3: Gas detectors - Guidance on functional safety of fixed gas detection systems (IEC 60079-29-3:2014); German version EN 60079-29-3:2014

Title (German)

Explosionsfähige Atmosphäre - Teil 29-3: Gasmessgeräte - Leitfaden zur funktionalen Sicherheit von ortsfesten Gaswarnsystemen (IEC 60079-29-3:2014); Deutsche Fassung EN 60079-29-3:2014

Overview

This part of the IEC 60079-29 standard series gives guidance for the design and implementation of a fixed gas detection system, including associated and/or peripheral gas detection equipment, for the detection of flammable gases/vapours and oxygen when used in a safety-related application in accordance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511. This part also applies to the detection of toxic gases. It sets out safety-related considerations of fixed gas detection systems, including associated and/or peripheral gas detection equipment in terms of the framework and philosophy of IEC 61508, and introduces the particular requirements demanded by a fixed gas detection system. Other parts of this international standard and pertinent local, national and international standards separately specify the performance requirements of a gas detector and a gas detection control unit (logic solver). These standards are commonly known as Metrological Performance Standards and are concerned with the accuracy of the measured value, the overall system performance, but not the device or system integrity with respect to the safety function. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 966.1 "Mess- und Warngeräte für gefährliche Gase" ("Measurement and warning devices for dangerous gases") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
