IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2:2025 provides guidance for the application of electrical resistance trace heating systems in areas where explosive atmospheres can be present, with the exclusion of those classified as requiring Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga or Da (traditional relationship to Zone 0 and Zone 20 respectively). This document also provides guidance for explosive atmospheres incorporating the Division method of area classification that can be applied by some users of this document.
This document provides recommendations for the design, installation, maintenance and repair of trace heating systems including associated control and monitoring equipment. It does not cover devices that operate by induction heating, skin effect heating or direct pipeline heating, nor those intended for stress relieving.
This second edition of IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2 published in 2015.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) a general review and updating of the first edition;
b) the addition of Annex I – Other applications of trace heating in explosive atmospheres.
The significance of changes between IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2, Edition 1.0 (2015) and IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2, Edition 2.0 (this document) can be found on the foreword of this document.
