13.1 Servicing explosion-pro-
tected devices
If a part of the device on which the explosion
protection is based needs to be serviced, the
device must not be put back into operation
until a qualified inspector has assessed it ac-
cording to explosion protection require-
ments, has issued an inspection certificate,
or given the device a mark of conformity. In-
spection by a qualified inspector is not re-
quired if the manufacturer performed a rou-
tine test on the device before putting it back
into operation. Document the passing of the
routine test by attaching a mark of conformi-
ty to the device.
Replace explosion-protected components on-
ly with original, routine-tested components
by the manufacturer.
Devices that have already been used outside
hazardous areas and are intended for future
use inside hazardous areas must comply
EB 8384-3 EN
with the safety requirements placed on ser-
viced devices. Before being operated inside
hazardous areas, test the devices according
to the specifications for servicing explo-
sion-protected devices.
EN 60079-19 applies to servicing explo-
sion-protected devices.
