Maintenance, repair
Maintenance: defines a combination of any actions carried
out to retain an item in, or restore it to, conditions in which it
is able to meet the requirements of the relevant specification
and perform its required functions.
Inspection:
defines any action comprising careful scrutiny of an item
carried out either without dismantling, or with the
addition of partial dismantling as required, supplemented
by means such as measurement, in order to arrive at
reliable conclusion as to the condition of an item.
Visual inspection:
defines an inspection which identifies, without the use of
access equipment and tools, those defects, such as
missing bolts, which will be apparent to the eye.
Close inspection:
defines an inspection which encompasses those aspects
covered by a visual inspection and, in addition, identifies
those defects, such as loose bolts, which will be apparent
only be the use of access equipment, for example steps,
where necessary, and tools.
Detailed inspection:
defines an inspection which encompasses those aspects
covered by a close inspection and, in addition, identifies
those defects, such as loose terminations, which will only
be apparent by opening the enclosure, and/or using,
where necessary, tools and test equipment.
Maintenance or replacement works are to be carried out
by qualified personnel only, i.e. personnel qualified
according to TRBS 1203 or similar.
Only such auxiliary components may be used in explosive
atmospheres which meet all requirements of European
and national directives and legislation.
Maintenance works that require a dismantling of the
system shall only be performed if the atmosphere is Ex-
free. If that is not possible, however, the usual
precautions have to be ensured according to local
regulations.
Components shall only be replaced by original spare parts
which are therefore approved for the use in ex- plosive
atmospheres.
Inside the Ex-atmosphere the equipment has to be
cleaned regularly. The intervals are to be defined by the
user in compliance with the environmental conditions
present at the place of operation.
After maintenance and repair works have been
performed, all barriers and notes removed for that
purpose have to be put back in their original place.
The flameproof joints differ from the tables of
IEC 60079-1 and should only be repaired by the
manufacturer.
