Scope: This European Standard specifies requirements and tests for electrical apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible gases, toxic gases or oxygen using software and/or digital technologies. It is applicable to fixed, transportable and portable apparatus intended for use · in domestic premises or · in industrial applications where safety integrity levels 1 or 2 of IEC 61508 or safety categories 1 or 2 of EN 954-1 are required. In industrial applications this standard is also applicable to apparatus which are intended for use in hazardous areas which may contain explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres. This European standard supplements the requirements of the European Standards for the detection and measurement of combustible gases and vapours (e.g. EN 61779-1 to EN 61779-5, EN 50194), toxic gases (e.g EN 45544, EN 50291) or oxygen (e.g. EN 50104). note:1 For the purposes of this standard the word 'toxic' should be taken to include 'very toxic', 'toxic', 'harmful', 'corrosive', 'irritating', 'carcinogenic', 'mutagenic' and 'toxic to reproduction'.
