Abstract

1 Scope This part of IEC 60079‑29 specifies general requirements, test methods and acceptance criteria that apply to flammable, oxygen and toxic gas detection equipment intended to detect gases and vapours and to provide an indication, alarm or other output function for personnel or property protection in industrial and commercial applications. NOTE 1 The term gas detection equipment is often referred to as the term gas detector. NOTE 2 The terms 'gas' and 'gases' used in this document are also intended to include 'vapour' and 'vapours'. This document applies to the following gas detection equipment:

Gas detection equipment Type "FL" intended for the detection of flammable gases:

Type FL-Group I, in mines susceptible to firedamp; Type FL-Group II, in locations other than mines susceptible to firedamp; and Type FL-OP, open path gas detection equipment for flammable gases.
