ATEX – Duct Smoke Detector
This procedure must particularly be complied with for tripping devices for smoke
in ventilation systems.
Work carried out in ex-zones must be properly regulated and documented. A
work approval system is a suitable method of regulation the organisational
aspects. The employer must ensure that employees are sufficiently and appropri-
ately instructed and trained with regard to explosion protection.
Written instructions and work approval:
It is very important to inspect and test the systems before initial use. If required,
additional measures for maintenance of explosion protection must be taken.
Protective measures must be checked in regular intervals. In the event of signifi-
cant changes, new measures must be adopted where appropriate.
The explosion protection document must be compiled before the start of work.
It must be updated on a regular basis, particularly after changes such as:
–
Extensions
–
Change of the workplace layout or the work procedures
–
Use of different equipment and/or tools
–
etc.
Existing documents may be combined.
Warning of potential damage to equipment!
Before starting with any work, a responsible person must
issue a work approval.
