Description of BS 6656:2002 2002This British Standard provides guidance on assessing the potential ignition hazard from the inadvertent extraction of energy from electromagnetic fields, propagated from communication, radar or other transmitting antennas to plant where a potentially flammable atmosphere may be present. The frequency range covered by this British Standard is 9 kHz to 60 GHz. This British Standard does not apply to similar hazards arising from electromagnetic fields generated by other means, such as electric storms, electricity generating installations or other radiating electrical equipment, nor does it apply to any hazard arising within telecommunication or other electronic equipment.
This British Standard also provides advice on how to mitigate the hazard in cases where the assessment indicates that a hazard may exist. This British Standard does not cover the hazards associated with the use of electro-explosive devices (EED) (see BS 6657), or the biological hazards of exposure to RF fields.
About BSIBSI Group, also known as the British Standards Institution is the national standards body of the United Kingdom. BSI produces technical standards on a wide range of products and services and also supplies certification and standards-related services to businesses. |
