Workshop contents

• Appli­ca­tion of IEC/EN 60079–11
  Deep­en your knowl­edge of the require­ments of the stan­dard and its imple­men­ta­tion.

• Inspec­tion of cir­cuit dia­grams and lay­outs
  Recog­nise weak points and check whether all safe­­ty-rel­e­­vant require­ments have been met.

• Intrin­sic safe­ty cal­cu­la­tions
  Deter­mine lim­it val­ues for volt­age, cur­rent and pow­er and car­ry out exem­plary cal­cu­la­tions.

• Labelling intrin­si­cal­ly safe devices
  Work out the cor­rect device labelling includ­ing the asso­ci­at­ed doc­u­men­ta­tion.

• Para­me­ter­is­ing the device inter­faces
  Define lim­it val­ues for inter­faces and famil­iarise your­self with their tech­ni­cal pro­tec­tion.

• Check­ing sep­a­ra­tion dis­tances
  Check the nec­es­sary min­i­mum dis­tances on cir­cuit boards and in hous­ings.

• Prac­ti­cal exam­ple from device tech­nol­o­gy
  Plan and eval­u­ate a bat­tery-oper­at­ed IoT device and decide on a suit­able pro­tec­tion con­cept.

Practical example: Battery-operated IoT device

In the work­shop, we will joint­ly analyse a bat­tery-pow­ered IoT device for use in poten­tial­ly explo­sive atmos­pheres. We dis­cuss dif­fer­ent pro­tec­tion con­cepts, their advan­tages and dis­ad­van­tages and work togeth­er to find the opti­mum solu­tion.

The focus is on the fol­low­ing top­ics:

• Require­ments for the hous­ing

• Test­ing and select­ing suit­able bat­tery cells

• Elec­tron­ic cur­rent lim­i­ta­tion

• Eval­u­a­tion of the use of pot­ting com­pounds

• Stan­dard­ised doc­u­men­ta­tion of the device

The aim is to devel­op a con­cept that ful­fils all require­ments for explo­sion pro­tec­tion, is func­tion­al and cost-con­s­cious, and could be sub­mit­ted as com­plete doc­u­men­ta­tion to a test­ing or cer­ti­fi­ca­tion body.

Documents

The work­shop is struc­tured like a real cer­ti­fi­ca­tion project. You will receive all the doc­u­ments that are also required by a test cen­tre for the approval of intrin­si­cal­ly safe devices. The doc­u­ments are ful­ly organ­ised and con­tain a struc­tured descrip­tion so that you can under­stand and apply the entire cer­ti­fi­ca­tion process in a prac­ti­cal man­ner.

You will receive impor­tant doc­u­ments on site in paper form. For rea­sons of sus­tain­abil­i­ty, we do not print out all draw­ings and data sheets — we pro­vide them to you dig­i­tal­ly as a down­load and on a USB stick.

The doc­u­ments pro­vid­ed are pre­pared in such a way that they meet the require­ments for sub­se­quent sub­mis­sion to a test cen­tre. This not only gives you an insight into the tech­ni­cal spec­i­fi­ca­tions, but also valu­able infor­ma­tion on the prac­ti­cal imple­men­ta­tion of the doc­u­men­ta­tion.
