    Explosion Proof Electrical Equipment

    The electrical safety equipment and their accessories that are manufactured by FEAM are used in areas in which an explosiveatmosphere may form in such quantities as to require special safety measures for safeguarding the health and safety of the wor-

    kers concerned. The ammable and/or combustible substances must be considered to be substances that may form an explosiveatmosphere unless an examination of their properties establishes that they are unable to cause an explosion independently, even if

    they form a mixture with air. Areas at risk from explosions are divided into zones on the basis of the frequency and duration of thepresence of explosive atmospheres.Choosing the best mode of protection and determining the hazardous areas inside plants is neither easy or immediate. Thorough

    familiarity with current standards is in fact required. We have therefore decided to use these introductory pages to provide a short

    guide to dealing with the problem and nding other sources of information.

    From standard IEC 60050-426:2008-02: “mixture with air, under atmospheric conditions, of ammable substances in the formof gas, vapour, dust, bres, or ying which, after ignition, permits self-sustaining propagation”. Using this denition we can divide

    explosive atmospheres into two large groups: those that have gases as fuel and those that have dusts (granulometry up to 500 μm).Combustion is a chemical reaction that entails oxidation of a fuel by an oxidizing agent (which is in general the oxygen in the air),with development of heat and electromagnetic radiation, often also including luminous radiation.

    More strictly speaking, combustion is a type of exothermic oxidoreduction in as much as one compound oxidizes whilst another oneis reduced (in the case of hydrocarbons the carbon oxidizes and the oxygen is reduced) with a release of energy and formation ofnew compounds, mainly carbon dioxide and water.

    For a reaction like this to happen, must be present, contemporary and in the right proportions, 3 (three) main components:FUELOXIDIZING AGENTSOURCE OF IGNITION

    The fuel may be of various types, e.g.: hydrocarbons, lumber or coal. the oxidizing agent par excellence is the oxygen present inthe air.

    The fuel and the oxidizing agent must be of appropriate proportions to ensure

    that combustion takes place within the so-called “ammability range”.

    The ash point can be, for example, a source of heat or a spark. The ash pointis the activation energy that is required by the molecules of reagents to start thereaction and must be supplied from the exterior energy released by the reaction

    that enables the reaction to sustain itself without the addition of external energy.

    In order to be able to accelerate combustion, turbulence can be used to increase

    the mixing between fuel and the oxidizing agent, thus accelerating combustion.

    Explosion is very rapid combustion that occurs at atmospheric pressure and thepressure must be conned in a volume in order for the explosion to occur.

    There are also substances that under certain conditions may explode sponta-

    neously without energy input, however, this is beyond the scope of the publica-

    tion that examines only the prevention and protection of explosions triggered by

    electrical equipment.

    To get an explosion with well dened energy of ignition, Fuel and Oxidizingshould form an EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE, or a mixture where the concentration ofhazardous substance is :

    - Higher than the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)- Lower than Upper Explosion Limit (UEL)Otherwise the trigger for that explosion on the ignition energy can not be done by :- lack of fuel (concentration less than LEL)- lack of Oxidizing (concentration greater than UEL)EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE is dened by the presence of gas mixture in the air of a ammable substance (gas or vapor form) in normalatmospheric conditions, in which after ignition, combustion spreads to the unburned mixture. A mixture having a concentrationgreater than the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) is not an explosive atmosphere but can easily become such, therefore, for classicationpurposes, you should consider it as such explosive atmosphere.

    Places where there are atmospheres, with regard to electrical installations, are dened as areas at risk, or as AREAS WITH DANGEROF EXPLOSION. The electrical equipment that is intended, therefore, must comply with specic and clearly dened regulations andbe certied as suitable for use by special Notied Bodies.

    Classication of hazardous areas

    Gases classication

    The temperature class

    Explosive characteristics peculiar to each substance. The safety requirements for electrical equipment and systems can be tailored

    according to the nature of hazardous substances into the atmosphere where the application is expected. The gases and vapors are the-refore divided into groups based on well-dened parameters (Maximum Experimental Safe MESG interstitium, and Minimum IgnitionCurrent MIC). Gas groups and their “description” will become part of the marks of an electrical safety.The classied combustible gases set out in document IEC 60079-20-1:2010-01 (Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres - Part 20: Data for ammable gases and vapours, relating to the use ofelectrical apparatus) are approximately 300: 

    The temperature class is the maximum temperature, surface or absolute, depending on the mode protection, that the equipment can

    reach during the operations for which its category is designed.

    The less the equipment heat up the less likely it is that they may cause explosions. It should be remembered that most gases have anignition temperature above 200-250 °C (T3).The temperature class joins marks of an electrical safety.A comparison between European/International temperature classes and North American temperature classes is set out below.Group II.

    One of the user’s tasks is to classify hazardous areas. There are currently two technical standards: one of which relates to GASES andthe other to DUSTS. Hazardous areas are classied in zones according to the frequency and duration of an explosive atmosphereconsisting of combustible gas or dusts in the form of a cloud.

    In Europe and at the international level the following applies to Group II:

    In North America, article 500 of the National Electrical Code is the reference and the following applies:

    FEAM Introduction

    94/9/EC (ATEX 95) Directive

    Directive 94/9/EC of March 23, 1994, is one of the Community directives of the “new approach”. The “ATEX 95” could be applied from

    1 March 1996 under the coexistence with the directives of the old approach (Directives 76/117/EEC, 79/196/EEC, 82/130/EEC and its

    amendments) and this phase ended 30 June 2003, when the directives of the old approach has been repealed, so from July 1, 2003 may

    be marketed only those products that meet the requirements of the “ATEX 95 “

    The Directive applies to:

    - apply to the Electrical Equipment or Protective Systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

    - surface areas (Group II) and underground mining (Group I)

    - in the presence of mixtures of gases, mists, vapors (as in the previous Directive) and combustible dusts

    - also applies to safety devices, monitoring and control to be used outside of a potentially explosive atmosphere, but necessary or

    useful for the safe operation of materials for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (devices Article . 1, para 2)

    “ATEX 95” Directive :

    - adopt new criteria for classication of equipment depending on the criticality, and in connection therewith, shall establish procedures

    for assessing conformity

    - xing the Essential Health and Safety, addressing risk analysis, not only to those of electrical but also mechanical, thermal, electroma-

    gnetic static, and so on..

    The “ATEX 95” excludes from its scope :

    - Equipment for medical use

    - Equipment in the presence of explosives or chemically unstable

    - Domestic appliances

    - Personal protective equipment (Directive 89/686/EEC)

    - Ships and mobile offshore units, including facilities on board

    - Means of transport, except those used in explosive atmospheres

    - Equipment for military use only

    The Directive provides the following breakdown for the Classication of Equipment

    • Group I - Products which are intended for use in mines and plants in their area.

    • Group II - Products whose use is expected to sites on the surface with explosive atmospheres.

    The products are then divided in groups as follows :

    GROUP I

    • Category M1 - Devices that provide a very high level of protection, they must be connected with network (power supplied) in the

    presence of explosive atmosphere.

    • Category M2 - Devices provide a high level of protection, for they shall be able to disconnected the power supply in the presence of

    explosive atmosphere.

    GROUP II

    • Category 1 - Devices that provide a very high level of protection, they are intended to places where there is always or for long periods,

    an explosive atmosphere.

    • Category 2 - Devices that provide a high level of protection, they are intended to places where there is the likely development of

    explosive atmosphere.

    • Category 3 - Appliances that provide a normal level of protection, they are intended to places where there is little likelihood of explo-

    sive developments.

    Directive 99/92/EC of 16 December 1999, is one of the EU Directive “social”.

    The “ATEX 137” should be applied:

    - for plants built after July 1, 2003: In addition to the measures set out in Annex II Part A describes the criteria for selection of equipment

    according to ATEX marked the division of areas in accordance with Annex I, including the identication and classication (Annex II, Part

    A and B);

    - for plants already in existence on June 30, 2003: provides organizational measures such as training and information, and protection

    against explosions including coordination between the installations, equipment and all connecting devices (Annex II A) for everything

    as of June 30, 2003 was having to be replaced, the replacement could be made before June 30, 2006.

    The Directive applies to:

    - Apply in places where workers may be at risk from explosive atmospheres;

    The “ATEX 137” excludes from its scope:

    - Areas used directly for the medical treatment of patients

    - The use of gas appliances (Directive 90/396/EEC)- Production, handling, storage, use, transport of explosives or chemically unstable

    - Mining and quarrying of minerals (Directives 92/91/EEC and 92/104/EEC)

    - Means of transport, except those used in explosive atmospheres

    Certication

    The certication of a product (a term used to describe a process or service) is a means to ensure that it conforms to a specic technical

    standard or other normative documents. Some product certication systems may provide initial tests on the product and supplier quality

    system assessment, followed by surveillance system for factory and laboratory testing of samples taken at the factory and the market.

    Other systems are based on initial testing, and monitoring, while others rely exclusively on type testing

    In the case of Directive 94/9/EC can dene two levels of certication :

    - The certication issued by the “producer”, otherwise known as self-certication, scheduled for the equipment group II, category 3;

    - The certication issued by a Notied Body, otherwise known as “certication of Part III,” scheduled for most of the cases.

    In the rst case, the manufacturer of certication coincides with the “EC declaration of conformity”, and is released after both the phases,

    design and manufacturing have been successful. In the second, for most products, certication issued by the Notied Body is to separate

    the two phases mentioned above, a document for each phase :

    - Certicate of EC type examination, which actually sound design from the standpoint EX;

    - Notication of the guarantee of product quality or production, which in fact testies that the manufacturer, through a management

    system ensures that products are manufactured in accordance with the approved design.

    Regarding the design, Feam has dozens of EC type examination certicates obtained during its fty activities in Ex applications, which are

    constantly updated with new pieces of legislation representing the “state of the art” in the prevention and protection of the explosions.

    Regarding the production instead Feam got served with the quality assurance of products issued by CESI, notied body No. 0722, this

    number is put on the plate products in the vicinity of the symbol.

    Our notication of guarantee is CESI 09 ATEX 055Q.

    Other certication schemes

    Risk analysis is a fundamental process for understanding if we are inside or outside the problem. This process consists of evaluating,depending on the required level of protection (normal, high, very high), whether the appliance has its own potential sources of ignitionthat are able to cause an explosion. Thus if the analysis shows that our equipment, in the various types of operation required, does not

    have its own potential sources of ignition we are outside the scope of the Directive; on the other hand, we must take measures to ensurethat its own potential sources of ignition do not become effective. Risk analysis is normally constituted by the following four logic phases :1) Hazard identication: systematic procedure aimed at identifying all dangers associated with the product. After identifying an hazard,

    it is possible to change the design to minimise the hazard, regardless of whether the degree of risk has been estimated. If the hazardis not identied, it will not be possible to eliminate it during the design phase.2) Hazard estimation: determining the probability that the identied hazards could occur and the level of seriousness of possible

    damages arising from the considered hazards.

    3) Hazard evaluation: comparison of the estimated risk and the criteria that enable us to decide whether the risk is acceptable or whenthe designof the product needs to be modied to reduce the risk in question.

      IEC-ExEver since the early years of the 21st century, outside the European Union, an international voluntary certication scheme has been

    increasingly asserting itself: it is the IEC-Ex scheme (http://www.iecex.com/). Based on its philosophy, this scheme is very similar to that

    of Directive 94/9/ EC and provides for control over both design (Ex-TR) and manufacturing (QAR) by a Certication Body qualied by

    this scheme; with these two documents, it is possible to apply for the certicate of conformity (CoC). This scheme, as well as its results

    (certicates), is acknowledged by an increasing number of States at an international level.

     RussiaThe regulatory framework in Russia is very different from the European context, in which we are used to get by with agility. Whereas in

    the EU the mutual acknowledgement principle applies and compulsory certication (CE marking) is only requested for certain families

    of products which are either dangerous or associated with serious risks, in Russia, based on law no. 508 of 22 July, 1992 concerning the

    protection of consumers’ rights, most of the products that are meant for marketing on the Federation markets must be certied to assess

    product compliance with Russian national standards. Since the task of checking imported goods based on safety and quality indexes does

    not fall within the direct province of the customs organs, the latter merely check on the existence and genuineness of the documents

    certifying the properties of imported products. According to the system governing customs control over the safety of goods, the main

    document is the certicate of conformity issued as part of the compulsory “GOST R” certication system; another fundamental document

    is the employment permit issued by Rostechnadzor (RTN). GOST stands for “Gosudarstvennyj Standart” (“State Standard” in Russian). This

    national certication system was introduced to protect public health and to ensure the safety and quality of imported goods, which have

    ooded the domestic markets of the countries of the former ex-USSR. The products bearing the GOST-R marking prove that they meet

    the applicable standards and have received a GOST R certicate from an accredited certication ofce.Goods can therefore only be cleared by customs if they are provided with this certication issued by an ofcial Russian body credited

    by Gosstandart; the certicate of conformity must be produced together with the customs bill of entry, and represents the fundamental

    document to allow goods to access the customs territory of the Russian Federation.

    Shipments bearing the ofcial copy of the certicate will be cleared by customs and will be accepted by the Russian buyer. For many

    goods intended for industrial areas within the Russian territory, which are potentially dangerous and comprise EX equipment, an addi -

    tional permit is required. Among such permits is the Rostechnadzor (RTN), issued by the Federal Service for Ecology, Technology and

    Nuclear Surveillance. This permit is required to indicate that the potentially dangerous equipment meets the Russian safety standards

    and can be operated without risk. All items handling oil, natural gas or other high pressure/high temperature uids automatically fall

    within this category, as they are deemed to be dangerous uids employed in dangerous activities. The permit is requie in order to run

    the equipment or the plant. Without it, the plant cannot receive the authorization. As a rule, the necessary calculations are carried out,

    including a review of the maintenance and repair procedures, a review of control systems, hydraulic tests, non-destructive tests, etc; a

    review of the possible environmental impact, such as discharges, uid waste leaks, etc., is also carried out. The validity period for using

    the permit, according to Russian law, is 5 years. In order to obtain the employment permit, technical passports and instruction manualsin Russian are also required.

     KazakistanTo ensure that the goods comply with the GOS STANDARD requirements of Kazakhstan, an assessment and registration process is also

    carried out and, once this has been successfully completed, a Certicate of Conformity or GOST K Certicate is issued. The GOST K Certi-

    cate states that the goods meet the appropriate Russian codes and standards and may be imported into the Republic of Kazakhstan and

    used there. Government regulation no. 367 of 20 April 2005 includes a list of the goods and applicable rate codes subject to compulsory

    certication. As a rule, this list is signicantly shorter than the one existing in Russia. A GOST K Certicate of Conformity can be issued by

    the certication organs credited by Gosstandard in Kazakhstan.

    The GOST-K Certication process is basically the same as the certication process in Russia; there are three types of certicate:

    - certicate for individual use (basic batch): for the purposes of this certicate, the product importer indicated on the certicate must

    be a Kazakhstan company. The certicate must specify the importer’s name, place of production, HS codes (customs rate numbers) of

    the product, contract date and number. It can only be used once and only for a specic Kazakhstan importer.- series production certicate (1 year): this is issued based on samples and documents, without an expert’s visit, and its period of vali-

    dity is 1 year. These certicates need to be updated after their expiry.

    - series production certicate (3 years): this is issued for series production, to cover a three year period after an expert’s visit. For this

    certicate, the regulations require that a surveillance visit is conducted on an annual basis.

Although it is always simple to reduce risks further, theycan rarely be reduced to zero without eliminating the activities

    The following potential sources of ignition must be considered:

    • hot surfaces• ames and hot gases (including hot particles)

    • mechanically generated sparks• electric apparatus• stray electric currents, protection against cathode corrosion• static electricity• lightning• electromagnetic waves• ionizing radiation• ultrasonic• adiabatic compression and shock waves• exothermic reactions, including self-ignition of dusts Directive

    Our instructions are written considering the following legislative and regulatory references:- annexe II par. 1.0.6 “istruzioni per l’uso” Directive 94/9/CE “ATEX 95”- technical note IEC 62079 “preparazione di istruzioni – struttura, contenuto e presentazione”

    In Europe the standards are prepared on behalf of the European Commission to individual standards bodies. Although not required theiruse, they simplify the procedures for verication of compliance as they constitute “a presumption of conformity” to the requirementsof the Directive for which they were created.Periodically, the list of rules that meet the criteria of each Directive is published by notice in the Ofcial Journal of the European Union,series C.

    The technical standards are evolving to keep pace with the knowledge you acquire at the “state of the art” in a given eld.Actually, for Ex applications and for electrical appliances, there are two lines of reference standards:- series 60079-.., for Gases

    - series 61241-.., for Dusts.

    Reference Standards for Ex applications:

    Quality is a theme that has always been part of the culture of FEAM and allowed it to be among the rst Italian companies to acquire, since1994, the CSQ certication according to ISO 9002 and more recently the ISO 9001:2008 certication.
