Glossary
Ex d :
mode of protection by flameproof enclosure “d” in compliance with standards EN 60079-0
and EN 60079-1 applying to electrical equipment intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres.
The parts which can ignite the explosive atmosphere are placed in an enclosure which can with-
stand the pressure developed during an internal explosion of an explosive mixture, and which
prevents the transmission of the explosion to the explosive atmosphere surrounding the enclosure.
Ex e :
mode of protection by increased safety “e” in compliance with standard EN 60079-7 applying
to electrical equipment intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres. Additional measures are
applied so as to give increased security against the possibility of excessive temperatures and of
the occurrence of arcs and sparks in normal service or under specified abnormal operations.
Ex tD :
mode of protection by enclosure “tD” in compliance with standards EN 61241-0 and
EN 61241-1 applying to electrical equipment for use in presence of combustible dust. The protec
-
tion is based on the limitation of the maximum surface temperature of the enclosure and on the
restriction of dust ingress into the enclosure to avoid ignition of a combustible dust layer or cloud.
94/9/EC :
European Council and Parliament directive (March 23, 1994) on the approximation of
the laws of the member states concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
EN 60079-0 :
standard general requirements applying to equipment intended for use in explosive
atmospheres.
EN 60079-1 :
standard applying to equipment protected by flameproof enclosure “d” and intend-
ed for use in explosive gas atmospheres.
EN 60079-7 :
standard applying to equipment protected by increased safety “e” and intended for
use in explosive gas atmospheres.
EN 61241-0 :
standard general requirements applying to electrical apparatus intended for use in
the presence of combustible dust.
EN 61241-1 :
standard applying to electrical apparatus protected by enclosure “tD” and intended
for use in the presence of combustible dust.
