APPENDIX 3
IECEx certification
A3.0
The IECEx Certification Scheme
IECEx is a global certification scheme for
explosion protected products which aims to
harmonise international certification standards.
For additional information about the IECEx
certification scheme and to view the BEKA
associate certificates, please visit www.iecex.com
A3.1
IECEx Certificate of Conformity
The BA414DF-F Fieldbus Indicator has been
issued with an IECEx Certificate of Conformity
number IECEx ITS 06.0012X which specifies the
following certification codes:
For gas
Ex ia IIC T4 Ga
Ex ic IIC T4 Gc
FISCO Field Device Ex ia IIC T4
Ta = -40°C to 70°C
For dust
Ex ia IIIC T100°C Da IP66
Ex ic IIIC T100°C Dc IP66
Ta = -20°C to 60°C
The specified IECEx gas and dust intrinsic safety
parameters are identical to the ATEX safety
parameters described in the main section and
Appendix 1 of this manual.
The IECEx certificate may be downloaded from
www.beka.co.uk, www.iecex.com or requested
from the BEKA sales office.
A3.2
Installation
The IECEx and ATEX certificates specify identical
safety parameters and installation requirements for
both gas and dust approvals.
The ATEX
installation requirements specified in the main
section and in Appendix 1 of this manual may
therefore be used for IECEx installations, but the
local code of practice should also be consulted.
CAUTION installation in Zone 0
When installed in a Zone 0 potentially
explosive
atmosphere
requiring
EPL
Ga
apparatus, the instrument shall be installed
such that even in the event of rare incidents, an
ignition source due to impact or friction
between the aluminium label and iron/steel is
excluded.
No special conditions apply when the indicator is
installed in Zone 1 or in Zone 2.
A3.3
IECEx Dust certification
If IECEx dust certification is required it must be
requested when the BA414DF-F Fieldbus Indicator
is purchased.
CAUTION
Before installing a BA414DF-F Fieldbus
Indicator in the presence of a combustible
dust, ensure that the certification information
label, which is located on the top of the
instrument, specifies dust certification - see
below.
A3.4 Versions of the BA414DF-F
All versions of the BA414DF-F Fieldbus Indicator
have IECEx certification. This includes:
ATEX version for use in gas atmospheres.
ATEX version for use in gas and dust
atmospheres has IECEx gas & dust certification.
Factory Mutual Approved version
