EN 1834-1:2000 Reciprocating internal combustion engines - Safety requirements for design and construction of engines for use in potentially explosive atmospheres - Part 1: Group II engines for use in flammable gas and vapour atmospheres
This European Standard specifies the safety requirements andlor measures to removeThe hazards and limitThe risks on reciprocating internal combustion compression ignition engines hereinafterreferred to as 'engines' of group II categories 2 and 3 for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of flammable gas and vapour.This European Standard does not apply to flammable gas and vapour atmospheres containing carbon disulphide (CS2).This European Standard does not define requirements relating toThe driven machinery.These requirements can be found inThe appropriate application standards.This European Standard does not apply to engines used in premises forThe processing manufacture or storage of explosives.The safety requirements for engines for use in potentially explosive atmospheres for underground applications are given in EN 1834-2:2000.The safety requirements for engines for used in explosive atmospheres with combustible dust aregiven in EN 1834-3:2000.This European Standard does not apply to spark ignition engines.The hazards applicable are listed in clause 4 and relate toThe additional hazards of operation in an atmosphere that may become explosive.The tests whichThe engine and its ancillary fittings arerequired to undergo to verify compliance withThis specification are detailed inThis standard.General safety requirements i.e. those common to all RIC engines, are covered inEN 1679-1:1998.This European Standard is applicable to engines which are manufactured afterThe date of issue ofthis standard.
