Explosive atmospheres - Part 38: Equipment and components in explosive atmospheres in underground mines
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO/IEC 80079-38 standard outlines the necessary measures for ensuring safety in underground mining environments that are at risk of explosive atmospheres containing firedamp and combustible dust.
The standard focuses on specifying the construction and marking requirements for equipment and components that are intended to be used in these hazardous environments. By complying with the standard, manufacturers and suppliers can ensure that their products meet the necessary explosion protection requirements.
The standard is essential in promoting the safe design, production, and use of equipment and components in underground mines. It aims to minimize the risk of explosions, which can have devastating consequences for workers and infrastructure in these mining settings. This standard plays a crucial role in safeguarding the wellbeing of personnel and preventing accidents in explosive atmospheres within underground mines.
