| Title | Explosive atmospheres - Part 10-2: Classification of areas - Combustible dust atmospheres |
| Project Number | 21821 |
| Abstract/Scope | IEC 60079-10-2:2009 is concerned with the identification and classification of areas where explosive dust atmospheres and combustible dust layers are present, in order to permit the proper assessment of ignition sources in such areas. The principles of this standard can also be followed when combustible fibres or flyings may cause a hazard. This standard is intended to be applied where there can be a risk due to the presence of explosive dust atmospheres or combustible dust layers under normal atmospheric conditions. This first edition of IEC 60079-10-2 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61241-10 published in 2004. The significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61241-10 are: - the hazards presented by dust have been clarified; - dust groups have been introduced; - Annex D explaining Equipment Protection Levels (EPLs) has been introduced; - 1 m of usual extent of zone 22 beyond zone 21 has been expanded to 3 m. |

(1) Date of ratification (dor) date when the Technical Board notes the approval of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), from which time the standard may be said to be approved
(2) Date of availability (dav) date when the definitive text in the official language versions of an approved CEN/CENELEC publication is distributed by the Central Secretariat
(3) Date of announcement (doa) latest date by which the existence of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), a TS or a CWA has to be announced at national level
(4) Date of publication (dop) latest date by which an EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
(5) Date of withdrawal (dow) latest date by which national standards conflicting with an EN (and HD for CENELEC) have to be withdrawn
(6) This list of normative references is purely indicative. The only official list of normative reference is the list of the published standard.
