IEC 60079-26:2006 PDF Download

IEC 60079-26:2006 is a standard that specifically focuses on electrical equipment that provides Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga, as per the requirements of explosive atmospheres. This standard outlines the necessary construction, testing, and marking specifications to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous environments.

EPL Ga signifies a very high level of protection provided by the electrical equipment, catering to rare equipment faults as well as two simultaneous faults occurring independently. The manufacturer's specified operational parameters must be adhered to in order to guarantee this high level of protection.

It is important to note that the contents of the corrigendum from March 2009 have been incorporated into this version of the standard. This ensures that any necessary updates or revisions are included in the standard to provide the most up-to-date guidelines for electrical equipment with EPL Ga.
