WEBINAR: Navigating EN IEC 60079-11:2024 – Key changes for intrinsically safe products
Discover the most significant technical updates in the new edition of IEC 60079-11:2023 and EN IEC 60079-11:2024, how they affect already certified equipment, and what steps manufacturers should take to ensure continued compliance.
The new edition of IEC 60079-11:2023, the international standard for equipment protection by intrinsic safety “i”, introduces significant changes that will affect both new and existing certified products. Once harmonized as EN IEC 60079-11:2024, these updates will also have a direct impact on ATEX certificates.
During this webinar, DNV expert Gunnar Nielsen (Principal Engineer / EX services Nordics), assisted by the moderator Carl Terøy (EX services Nordics), will walk you through the most critical technical changes between edition 6 and edition 7 and explain what manufacturers, design engineers, and certification holders must consider to maintain compliance.
Key topics include:
