EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 50020 testing. EN 50020 is a European standard that specifies intrinsic safety 'i' requirements for electrical apparatus used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Intrinsic safety 'i' is a protection technique used to limit the energy that can be released by electrical equipment to prevent ignition of flammable atmospheres.
The standard defines various requirements for intrinsic safety 'i' in electrical apparatus, including the maximum voltage, current and power that can be applied to the equipment, as well as the maximum energy that can be stored in any capacitor or inductor in the equipment. . Electrical equipment should be designed and manufactured in such a way that even in the event of a malfunction or malfunction, they do not release sufficient energy to ignite a potentially explosive atmosphere.
In addition, the standard specifies several test methods for assessing intrinsic safety 'i' performance in electrical apparatus. These tests include measurements of voltage, current, and power consumption of equipment, as well as evaluating its resistance to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and mechanical stress. Equipment must also pass tests to ensure it can operate safely and reliably in the presence of explosive atmospheres and withstand exposure to a certain range of gases and vapors without causing ignition.
Finally, the standard specifies requirements for marking and certification of electrical devices that meet intrinsic safety 'i' requirements. The apparatus must be marked with the 'i' symbol to indicate that it is intrinsically safe, as well as information on its construction, performance and certification. It should also be accompanied by documentation that provides details on its design, operation and maintenance requirements.
