Specifies requirements for flameproofing, the limits of surface temperature, and exhaust gas emissions of diesel engine systems for use in underground coal mines. Test methods are included for explosion testing of the diesel engine system and its components, and for the hydrostatic testing of assemblies.

This Standard specifies requirements for the flameproofing and the limiting of surface temperature and exhaust emission control of diesel engine systems for use in underground coal mines.
