EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 50014 testing. This European Standard specifies general requirements for the construction, testing and marking of electrical equipment, obsolete cable entries and obsolete components intended for use in potentially explosive gas, vapor and mist atmospheres. Potentially explosive atmospheres include the presence of combustible dusts.
The standard defines various requirements for electrical equipment used in these environments, including their construction, materials and performance. The apparatus must be designed and manufactured in such a way as to prevent ignition of explosive atmospheres and must be made of materials resistant to corrosion, heat and mechanical stress. The apparatus must also be able to operate safely and reliably in environments with explosive atmospheres and must be designed to prevent the propagation of any ignition source such as sparks or arcs.
In addition, the standard specifies various test methods for evaluating the performance of electrical devices in potentially explosive atmospheres. These tests include measurements of the apparatus's electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to corrosion and impact. The apparatus must also undergo tests to ensure that 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 lays down requirements for marking and certification of electrical devices for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The apparatus should be marked with information on its construction, performance and certification and presented with documentation providing details on its design, operation and maintenance requirements.
Overall, EN 50014 provides a comprehensive set of requirements for electrical equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres and ensures that these devices are designed, manufactured and tested to prevent ignition of explosive atmospheres and to ensure safe and reliable operation in these hazardous environments.
