ATEX Principles - 2003
ATmospherique EXplosive (French)
Generalised directive to manage ignition risks for hazardous
areas
European Union ‘regulation’ issue: Mandated through
European member country legislation
Risk based
(Risk categories introduced - Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3)
Address electrical and non electrical issues
(e.g. EN1127-1)
Compliance to Standards deemed to meet objectives but
not the only path
Not a certification scheme
Initially based on preference of CEN and CENELEC
standards but accepts Alternate Standards (IEC)
©2009 19
AS/NZS (IEC) 60079-10-1:2009
IEC elements:
 Gives support to ‘Classification by Calculation’.
 Calculation method is not mandated. Use of alternative
models is accepted
 Qualitative guidance only
 Hypothetical volumes
 Average LEL, increased by dispersion profile
 Used for ventilation assessment – not hazard radius
 Calculations conservative – 2 or 3 orders of
magnitude
 Hypothetical volumes and zones related but not
deterministic
 Includes useful calculations for release rates
 Includes Mists information – still unresolved
©2009 20
Gas/Vapour Classifications - Future
Gas/Vapour (60079-10-1)
 Further updates to mists (but still hard to define risks)
 Further advances on new computational tools.
 Revise calculations for hypothetical volume.
 Work towards recognizing other standards (IP 15, API-
505 etc)
Outstanding questions:
 How big is a hazard(ous area)?
 How big is a leak?
 Do we need guidance on ‘more catastrophic failures’?
 Redefining zone 0 – what is ‘frequent’ and does it have
meaning?
©2009 21
Dust Classifications
 AS/NZS (IEC) 60079-10-1 due for adoption 2010.
 IEC 60079-10-2 due for publication mid 2009
 Emphasis on dust cloud hazard.
 Introduce dust groups
 IIIA (flyings)
 IIIB (non conductive)
 IIIC (conductive)
 Dust layers identified as a fire risk and may not
be hazardous areas (subject to housekeeping & conditions)
 May prefer to use Ex rated items for fire risk
management and not explosion hazards
©2009 22
Current Hazard Management Approach
 Current Classification and Apparatus is based on
fault tree principles.
 Likelihood of hazard x Likelihood of ignition
source = ALARP probability of event.
 e.g. Zone 1 areas may be hazardous in normal operation
and require apparatus with a high integrity from
becoming an ignition source.
 Zone 2 areas are less likely to be flammable and
electrical equipment has lower integrity from being an
ignition source.
Does not consider consequence.
 ‘Apparent risk’ may be suggested by individuals
‘fudging’ classifications.
©2009 23
Risk Adjusted Classifications
 Accepted in the next edition of IEC standards
 Progressively to all aspects of hazardous area standards.
(2006 to 2011)
 Fits other frameworks (ATEX, AS/NZS 4360 etc)
 Guidance is beyond IEC scope – not defined in
IEC standards. Application may be country
dependent – Australian approach may vary to
other countries
 As an option to the current prescriptive approach
to allow choice of equipment for zones.
©2009 24
IEC 60079-10: Enabling Risk Adjustment
Clause 4.2: Objectives
“ ……….. Subsequent to the completion of the area

classification, a risk assessment may be carried out to
assess whether the consequences of ignition of an
explosive atmosphere requires the use of equipment of a
higher equipment protection level (EPL) or may justify
the use of equipment with a lower equipment protection
level than normally required. The EPL requirements may
be recorded, as appropriate, on the area classification
documents and drawings to allow proper selection of
equipment. …….”

Risk Adjustments - Implementation
 Annexes to:
AS/NZS 60079-10-1,
AS/NZS 60079-10-2 and
AS/NZS 60079-14
 Guidance on when, and process required
 Not a prescriptive approach – no specific examples
 Relationship to OH&S regulations to be
considered
 ‘Reasonably Practicable’
 ‘Minimize risk’ approach
 Roles of designers to eliminate risks at design stages

(Conformity Assessment Documentation)
©2009 32
AS/NZS key item
 AS/NZS 60079-17 includes a new Annex for guidance on ‘
fitness for purpose’ assessments for heritage (legacy) plant.
Most of the other requirements (for the AS/NZS

adoption) are the same as current standards.
©2009 33
AS/NZS key items
 AS/NZS 60079-19 includes a number of the requirements
now given in AS/NZS3800 as an extension to IEC 60079-19
 A “guide” is being worked on that will include a lot of the
information currently given in AS/NZS3800 that will become
supplementary to AS/NZS 60079-19 to ‘fill the gaps’
 AS/NZS3800 is intended to continue to be in use for a
period of at least 2 years after the publication of AS/NZS
60079-19
 Likely publication date for the AS/NZS is the first half of
2010 depending on the situation with the standards
development process in Australia.

Previously ( 2003 - 2008)
To prepare and maintain international standards relating to the
use of electrical apparatus including area classification, the
selection and installation, inspection and maintenance, repair,
overhaul and modification of electrical apparatus where there
is a hazard due to the possible presence of explosive
atmospheres of gases, vapours or mists.
From 2008
To prepare and maintain international standards
relating to equipment for use where there is a hazard
due to the possible presence of explosive atmospheres
of gases, vapours, mists or combustible dusts.
©2009 36
Non Electrical Standards
 CEN mechanical standards initially developed in
response to ATEX by non electrical groups
 Specific European mechanical standards - generally
based on ignition risk assessment rather than
technically specific.
 Category (or zone) rating variable based on
assessments
 Modified gas/dust criteria to electrical standards (to be
reviewed in IEC)
 ISO responsibility but IEC holds relevant expertise in
hazardous areas.
 ISO and IEC working together in the non electrical
field under IEC TC31
©2009 37
EN - Non Electrical Standards
 EN 13980, EN 1710 – Underground coal mine
equipment (priority)
 Generic standards (Introduced for IEC consideration)
 EN 13463 - 1 General
 EN 13463 - 2 ‘fr’ - Flow restricting (limited breathing)
 EN 13463 - 3 ‘d’ - Flameproof (as per electrical)
 EN 13463 - 5 ‘c’ - Construction safety (increased safety)
 EN 13463 - 6 ‘b’ - Ignition control (electro mechanical
management systems)
 EN 13463 - 8 ‘k’ - Immersion (as per electrical)
 Future inherent safety being considered
 Specific equipment standards e.g.
 EN 14986 (Design of fans)
©2009 38
IEC – Non Electrical

standards
 Already working on mining equipment standards as priority
IEC 60079-0: general requirements – mechanical and electrical
ISO/IEC 80079-0: Basic requirements for mechanical equipment

(including ignition hazard assessment)
ISO/IEC 80079-xx: Mechanical equipment – constructional safety,

control of ignition sources, liquid immersion
(combined elements from EN standards)
IEC 60079-1: Flameproof – mechanical and electrical

for example
IEC 60079-2: Pressurisation – mechanical and electrical
©2009 39
Non Electrical - relationships
 Consider impact on/input from existing
recognised standards
 API and ISO TC67 oil industry standards – co-adopted
 Other than EN standards?
 AS 2809 (road tankers), AS 2229 (fuel dispensers),
API 610, ASME PTC9 etc ???
 Certification schemes
 Extension to IECEx – Does industry need or want it?
 New competencies and inspection regimes – are
these warranted?
