Document History

Supersedes BS EN 60079-1:2007. Identical to IEC 60079-1:2014, incorporating corrigendum June 2018. See National foreword for information that the UK voted against approval of this document as a European Standard as the pass criteria for the test relating to cemented joints in subclause 6.1.2 is considered to be not as robust when compared with the previously published edition. Other National Standard Bodies have also recorded a negative vote on the document citing the identical concern in the difference between the 2007 and 2014 editions. Many manufacturers had no difficulty in complying with the previous requirement when choosing appropriate cements and the UK committee did not see any justification for revising the requirement. Amendment dated 30 September 2018 - Implementation of IEC corrigendum June 2018: Clause C.2.3.3 amended.
