Industries operating in explosive atmospheres – such as oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, mining, and food processing – must adhere to stringent safety standards to mitigate ignition risks. The consequences of non-compliance can be severe, leading to explosions, fires, equipment damage, and risks to human life.

To ensure safe operations, Ex equipment must not only be certified but also correctly assembled and maintained. This is where IEC TS 60079-46 plays a crucial role.

What you will learn in this whitepaper:

  • Key compliance requirements: Understand the essential steps for ensuring Ex equipment assemblies meet IEC 60079 and ISO 80079 standards.
  • IEC 60079-14 vs. IEC TS 60079-46: Discover how these two standards complement each other and why IEC TS 60079-46 is critical for managing ignition hazards at the assembly level.
  • Best practices for ignition hazard assessment: Learn how to identify and mitigate risks from static electricity, overheating, and mechanical sparks.
  • Functional safety considerations: Ensure your safety-related systems comply with international standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 62061, IEC 61511, and IEC 61508.
  • Expert insights on risk management: Gain valuable knowledge on assembling, inspecting, and maintaining Ex equipment in hazardous environments.
