Equipment groups and categories

• Group I: Equipment intended for use in the underground parts of mines, and those parts of surfaces installations of such mines, likely to become endangered by firedamp and/or combustible dust;

10Phare SL9705.03

Group I

• M 1 Equipment remain functional when an explosive atmosphere is present,

• M 2 Equipment to be de-energized in the event of an explosive atmosphere

11Phare SL9705.03

Group II• Cat. 1: equipment designed to operate in an

explosive atmosphere,

• Cat. 2: equipment designed to operate in an possible explosive atmosphere,

Zones• Zone 0

Expl. Gas is present

• Zone 1Expl. Gas may occur

• Zone 2Expl. Gas unlikely or for a short period of time

• Zone 20Expl. Dust is present

• Zone 21Expl. Dust may occur

• Zone 22Expl. Dust unlikely or for a short period of time

14Phare SL9705.03

Technical health and safety requirements

• for all equipment and protective systems and potential sources of ignition like electrical, mechanical, shock wave, optical, em-radiation,

• with respect to faults, overloads, maintenance, measuring devices and software,

• for protective systems like pressure-relief and explosion suppression systems extra requirements exist.

15Phare SL9705.03

Manufacturers responsibility• analysis of applicability of directive(s)

• design and construct in compliance with the essential health and safety requirements(risk assessment)

• follow the assessment procedure (quality)

16Phare SL9705.03

Risk assessment• Hazard(s) identification

• Risk estimation (probability, severity of harm)

• Risk evaluation (criteria check)

• Risk reduction option analysis (design)
