Maintenance and repair work
6.1
Definition of terms according to IEC 60079-17:
Maintenance:
defines a combination of any actions carried out to retain an item in, or restore it to, conditions in
which it is able to meet the requirements of the relevant specification and perform its required functions.
Inspection:
defines any action comprising careful scrutiny of an item carried out either without dismantling, or
with the addition of partial dismantling as required, supplemented by means such as measurement, in order to
arrive at reliable conclusion as to the condition of an item.
Visual inspection:
defines an inspection which identifies, without the use of access equipment and tools, those
defects, such as missing bolts, which will be apparent to the eye.
Close inspection:
defines an inspection which encompasses those aspects covered by a visual inspection and,
in addition, identifies those defects, such as loose bolts, which will be apparent only be the use of access
equipment, for example steps, where necessary, and tools.
Detailed inspection:
defines an inspection which encompasses those aspects covered by a close inspection
and, in addition, identifies those defects, such as loose terminations, which will only be apparent by opening the
enclosure, and/or using, where necessary, tools and test equipment.
a)
Maintenance or replacement work must be carried out by qualified personnel only, i.e. personnel
qualified according to TRBS 1203 or similar.
b)
Only auxiliary components which comply with all European and national directives and legislations may
be used in potentially explosive atmospheres
c)
After maintenance and repair works have been performed, all barriers and notices removed for that
purpose must be returned to their original place.
d)
In the event that faults of the equipment are detected, the equipment is to be removed. The internal
components cannot be repaired by the customer. The equipment is to be returned to the manufacturer
for inspection.
e)
With the exception of the replaceable mains fuse, fuses may
not
be replaced by the operator, since
affected Zener-diodes must also be simultaneously replaced. This work requires a follow-up
adjustment, which can only be carried out at the manufacturer’s factory.
