IS/IEC 60079 : Part 32 : Sec 2 : 2015 Explosive Atmospheres - Part 32 Electrostatics Hazards - Section 2 Tests
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 32/Sec 2) which is identical to IEC 60079-32-2 ;Explosive atmospheres - Part 32-2: Electrostatics hazards - Tests; issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Electrical Apparatus for Explosive Atmosphere Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.
This Indian Standard provides the standard test methods used for the control of static electricity, such as surface resistance, earth leakage resistance, powder resistivity, liquid conductivity, capacitance and evaluation of the incendivity of provoked discharges.
The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words ;International Standard; appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ;Indian Standard;; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
