DIN EN 60079-29-2 ; VDE 0400-2:2015-12
Explosive atmospheres - Part 29-2: Gas detectors - Selection, installation, use and maintenance of detectors for flammable gases and oxygen (IEC 60079-29-2:2015); German version EN 60079-29-2:2015

Title (German)

Explosionsfähige Atmosphäre - Teil 29-2: Gasmessgeräte - Auswahl, Installation, Einsatz und Wartung von Geräten für die Messung von brennbaren Gasen und Sauerstoff (IEC 60079-29-2:2015); Deutsche Fassung EN 60079-29-2:2015

Overview

This part of DIN EN 60079-29 gives guidance on, and recommended practice for, the selection, installation, safe use and maintenance of electrically operated Group II equipment intended for use in industrial and commercial safety applications and Group I equipment in underground coal mines for the detection and measurement of flammable gases complying with the requirements of DIN EN 60079-29-1 or DIN EN 60079-29-4. This standard is applicable for oxygen measurement for the purpose of inertisation where explosion protection is provided by the exclusion of oxygen instead of measuring the flammable gases or vapours present. A similar application is measuring oxygen when inertising a goaf (mined out) area in an underground coal mine. This standard is a compilation of practical knowledge to assist the user, and applies to equipment, instruments and systems that indicate the presence of a flammable or potentially explosive mixture of gas or vapour with air by using an electrical signal from a gas sensor to produce a meter reading, to activate a visual or audible pre-set alarm or other device, or any combination of these. The responsible committee is Subcommittee 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.
