3、lconsensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.2)They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in thatsense.3)In order to promote this international unification,the IEC expresses the wish that all National Committees having asyet no na
4、tional rules,when preparing such rules,should use the IEC recommendations as the fundamental basis for theserules in so far as national conditions will permit.4)The desirability is recognized of extending international agreement on these matters through an endeavour to harmonizenational standardizat

6、omply with one of its recommendations.PREFACEThis Recommendation has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee No.31,Electrical Apparatus for Explosive Atmo-spheres.It forms one of a series of publications dealing with electrical apparatus for use in explosive gas atmospheres.Some ofthese publication
7、s are concerned with particular techniques.Others,of which this is one,are relevant to all techniques.The following parts of Publication 79 have already been published:Flameproof enclosures(see Publication 79*)Pressurized enclosures(see Publication 79-2)Testing of intrinsically safe apparatus(see Pu
8、blication 79-3)Method of test for ignition temperature(see Publication 79-4)Sand-filled apparatus(see Publication 79-5)Oil-immersed apparatus(see Publication 79-6)Type e apparatus(see Publication 79-7)Classification of maximum surface temperatures(see Publication 79-8).A description of the technique
9、s available for making electrical apparatus safe for use in gas atmospheres,with general _guidance on the subject,is in course of preparation.A draft dealing with the system of marking was discussed at the meeting held in Ottawa in 1966 and separate drafts of theecommendation and the Appendix were s

12、CTIONV4THINA EERGY AUTHORITYELECTRICAL APPARATUS FOR EXPLOSIVE GAS ATMOSPHERESPart 9:Marking1.ScopeThis Part of IEC Publication 79 describes the system of marking adopted by the IEC for identifyingelectrical apparatus intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres and constructed in accordance withot
13、her Parts of IEC Publication 79.Note.-It is important,in the interest of safety,that this system of marking should not be used for apparatus which is notcovered by IEC Publication 79 or which does not comply in all respects with the appropriate part of this Publication.2.ObjectThe object of this Rec
14、ommendation is to enable electrical apparatus constructed in accordance withIEC Publication 79 to be readily identified,according to the method of protection adopted.3.MarkingThe recognized system of marking is as follows:a)The letters IEC.b)The number 79 followed by a hyphen and the number of the a
15、ppropriate Part of IECPublication 79.c)The appropriate group symbol:I:for application in coal mining;II:for application in other industries.d)For certain methods of protection only,the appropriate sub-group symbol,e.g.“A,B,C.e)Marking in accordance with IEC Publication 79-8 to indicate the maximum s
16、urface temperature.f)The name or symbol of the national or other appropriate authority and the number of the cer-tificate or the approval number.Notes 1.-The full requirements for marking a given enclosure or piece of apparatus are given in the appropriatepart of IEC Publication 79.They include mark
17、ing additional to that given above.2.-The following is an example of marking in accordance with a),b),c),d)and e)above:IEC79-1 IIAT33.-The symbols at present used by the various national and other appropriate authorities are given inthe Appendix.9SymboleSymbolPaysRemarquesCountryRemarksMinesAutres i
