1.1)
This Competency Standard Unit covers the explosion-protection aspects of permanently installed explosion-protected equipment, which has no acceptable certification and a conformity assessment document cannot be prepared to determine the level of conformity with current IEC or AS/NZS Standards. It requires the ability to gather, establish and evaluate technical information on relevant explosion-protection techniques and to report evaluations and findings, including recommendations based on safety requirements and economic considerations.
This unit is directly equivalent to the Unit 2.22 Assess the fitness-for-purpose of hazardous areas explosion-protected equipment in the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4761.1 Competencies for working with electrical equipment for hazardous areas (EEHA) Part 1: Competency Standards. Equivalence includes endorsement in the explosion-protection techniques listed in the Range statement of this unit.
