本标准规定了耐爆耐压和防爆设备的要求。本标准适用于过程容器和系统。它不适用于可能被设计为承受内部爆炸的电动机和变速箱的各种设备，这些设备是EN 13463-3的主题。 该标准适用于压力范围为800 hPa至1100 hPa，温度范围为20°C至60°C的气氛。本标准对于在以上有效范围内使用的设备的设计，构造，测试和标记也是有帮助的，只要此主题不在具体标准中。 本标准适用于可能发生爆燃的设备和设备组合，不适用于可能发生爆震的设备和设备组合。本标准不应用于海上应用。 该标准只能用于金属材料制成的设备

This standard specifies requirements for explosion-pressure-resistant and explosion pressure shock-resistant equipment. This standard is applicable to process vessels and systems. It is not applicable to individual items of equipment such as motors and gearboxes that may be designed to withstand an internal explosion, which are the subject of EN 13463-3. This standard is valid for atmospheres having pressures ranging from 800 hPa to 1100 hPa and temperatures ranging from ­ 20 °C to + 60 °C. This standard may also be helpful for the design, construction, testing and marking of equipment intended for use in atmospheres outside the validity range stated above, as far as this subject is not covered by specific standards. This standard applies to equipment and combinations of equipment where deflagrations may occur and is not applicable to equipment and combination of equipment where detonation may occur. This standard should not be used for offshore applications. It is essential that this standard be used for equipment made of metallic materials only.
