BAS EN 1127-2: 2020, Explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection - Part 2: Basic concepts and methodology for mining, adopted by translation method.

This BiH standard is identical to the European standard EN 1127-2: 2014, Explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection - Part 2: Basic concepts and methodology for mining.

BAS EN 1127-2: 2020 specifies methods for explosion prevention and protection in mining by outlining basic concepts and methodology for the design and construction of equipment, protective systems and components.

This standard applies to Group I equipment, protective systems and components intended for use in underground parts of mines and those parts of their surface installations at risk from firedamp and/or flammable dust.

Explosions can result from materials processed of used by the equipment and components, materials released by the equipment and components or from materials in the vicinity of the equipment, from the materials of which the equipment, protective systems and components are constructed.

Explosion protection of equipment, protection systems and components depends on the design and construction of equipment, protective systems and components, the intended use, the foreseeable misuse, the ambient conditions and the materials  handled.

This standard also includes safety aspects related to these factors, i.e. it is imperative that the manufacturer consider how and for what the equipment, protective systems and components will be used and take this into account during their design and construction. Only in this way can hazards inherent in equipment, protective systems and components be reduced.

This BiH standard BAS EN 1127-2: 2020 was prepared by the Technical Committee BAS/TC 6, Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres.
