Abstract :
International Electrotechnical Committee SC31G has been working for several years on a recommendation to cover the requirements for intrinsic safety. The Committee is nearing the completion of the document. Detailed requirements will differ from several of the existing national standards. It is time for a review of SC31G´s activities and to compare results with the existing standards.
