What is BS EN 60079-30-2 ‒ Electrical resistance trace heating about?
BS EN 60079-30-2 is the second part of an international multi-series standard that covers safety requirements for explosive atmospheres.
BS EN 60079-30-2 provides guidance for the application of electrical resistance trace heating systems in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present, with the exclusion of those classified as requiring EPL Ga/Da (traditional relationship to Zone 0 and Zone 20 respectively).
It provides recommendations for the design, installation, maintenance, and repair of trace heating systems including associated control and monitoring equipment.
Note 1: BS EN 60079-30-2 does not cover devices that operate by induction heating, skin effect heating, or direct pipeline heating, nor those intended for stress relieving.
