7 Information for use
This European Standard specifies performance requirements for Group II (as defined in EN 50054) portable, transportable and fixed apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible gas or vapour concentrations with air. The apparatus, or parts thereof, may be installed or used in potentially explosive atmospheres, other than mines susceptible to firedamp (i.e. Group I). The general requirements and test methods applicable to the apparatus covered by this European Standard are specified in EN 50054.This European Standard is restricted to apparatus intended for the detection and measurement of volume ratios of combustible gas or vapour in air from 0 % (v/v) to 100 % (v/v).NOTE 1: Apparatus covered by this European Standard will normally be intended to operate in volume ratios greater than 100 % LEL. NOTE 2: Although apparatus of the types covered by this European Standard may be suitable for detecting a wide range of combustible gases, particular gases (e.g. methane or propane) are specified in EN 50054 as the components of the test gases for the purpose of practical convenience. The performance requirements specified in this European Standard must therefore be regarded with caution when the apparatus is used to detect other combustible gases, as some parameters - such as time of response - will be modified
