Explosive atmospheres — Part 5: Equipment protection by pressurized enclosure "p" 1 Scope This document contains the specific requirements for the construction and testing of electrical equipment with pressurized enclosures, of type of protection "p", intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres or explosive dust atmospheres. It also includes the requirements for pressurized enclosures containing a limited release of a flammable substance. This document applies to electrical equipment protected by pressurized enclosure "p" and for use in explosive gas atmospheres or explosive dust atmospheres. This document is not applicable to: ——pressurized enclosures where the containment system may release the following substance: ● air with an oxygen content greater than normal; or ● oxygen in combination with inert gas where the oxygen is in a proportion greater than 21%. ——pressurized rooms or analyser houses; see GB/T 3836.17. ——pressurized enclosures used where "explosives" or pyrotechnics are present. ——pressurized enclosures used where hybrid mixtures of gas/vapor and combustible dust are present. ——pressurized enclosures used where pyrophoric substances such as explosives or propellants containing their own oxidizers are present. ——pressurized enclosures with an internal source of release of combustible dust. Note: When the user acts in the role of the manufacturer, it is typically the user’s responsibility to ensure that all relevant requirements of this document are applied to the manufacturing and testing of the equipment. This document supplements and modifies the general requirements of GB/T 3836.1. Where a requirement of this document conflicts with a requirement of GB/T 3836.1, the requirements of this document take precedence. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this standard.
