Explosive Atmospheres: Caplights for Use in Mines Susceptible to Firedamp - General Requirements, Construction, and Testing in Relation to the Risk of Explosion
Also Known As:
Guidelines for the design and testing of caplights used in explosive environments in mines that are prone to fire are provided by the BS EN 60079-35-1:2011 standard.
The specification covers caplights that are battery- or energy-powered and intended to be carried by the user or worn on the user's head. It outlines general specifications for the development and evaluation of caplights in order to guarantee their safe operation in potentially dangerous conditions. Ingress protection, electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to combustible gases and dust are just a few of the specifications that must be met.
The standard's objective is to reduce the risk of explosion brought on by the use of caplights in mines that contain fire. It offers a legal framework that manufacturers, designers, and users can use to guarantee that caplights adhere to the relevant safety standards and are appropriate for use in explosive environments.
