EVALUATION OF INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION'S STANDARDS FOR EXPLOSION-PROOF ENCLOSURES Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 30 USC 957 CFR Citation: 30 CFR 6; 30 CFR 7; 30 CFR 18 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: MSHA reviewed the requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) standards for Electrical Apparatus for Explosive Gas Atmospheres to determine if they are equivalent to MSHA's applicable product approval requirements or can be modified to provide at least the same degree of protection as our requirements. This final rule promulgates MSHA's equivalency determination for two of the IEC's Standards for Electrical Apparatus. These two standards, with specified modifications, will provide the same degree of protection as MSHA's applicable approval requirements for explosion-proof enclosures in 30 CFR parts 7 and 18.
