    Covers factors directly related to the inspection and maintenance of electrical installations within hazardous areas only.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of IEC 61241 is intended to be applied by users and covers factors directly related to the inspection and maintenance of electrical installations within hazardous areas only. It does not include conventional requirements for electrical installations, nor the testing and certification of electrical apparatus. This standard supplements the requirements laid down in IEC 60364-6-61. NOTE: The text is based on IEC 60079-17
