60079-29-1 Explosive atmospheres – Part 29-1: Gas detectors- Performance requirements of detectors for flammable gases |
| Abstract |
Specifies general requirements for construction, testing and performance, and describes the test methods that apply to portable, transportable and fixed apparatus for the detection and measurement of flammable gas or vapor concentrations with air. The apparatus, or parts thereof, are intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and in mines susceptible to firedamp. This first edition of IEC 60079-29-1 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61779-1 to IEC 61779-5:1998 series and constitutes a technical revision with numerous changes with respect to the previous edition.
