UL 60079-26:2017-07 Explosive Atmospheres一Part 26: Equipment with Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga. 1 DV DR Modification of Clause 1 to replace with the following: This part of IEC 60079 standard specifies alternative requirements for construction, test and marking for electrical equipment that provides Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga when single standardised Types of Protection (e.g. Ex “Ia” , Ex “ma”, Ex “da”) cannot be applied. This standard also applies to equipment mounted across a boundary where different Equipment Protection Levels may be required. EXAMPLE: Equipment installed in the wall of a storage vessel containing Zone 0 (requiring EPL Ga) inside an area defined as Zone 1 (requiring EPL Gb). This electrical equipment-within-the operationaFparameters specified by-the manufacturer ensures a -very–high tevel–oL Protection that -includes rare malfunctions related -to- the olu.1.,.D :t: ,Jf NOTE A malfunction may result from a failure of the component parts of the electrical equipment or from anticipated externally applied Influences. Two independent malfunctions which may occur more frequently and which, separately, would not create an Ignition hazard but which, in combination, could create a potential Ignition hazard, are regarded as occurring together to form a rare malfunction. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0 jJj 60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of lEG 60079-0 UL 60079-0. the requirement of this standard takes precedence. Where references are made to IEC 60079 standards. the referenced requirements found in these standards shall apply as modified by any applicable U.S. National Differences. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. 2DV DR Modification of Clause 2 references to replace with the following: ANSI/IEC 60529.
