Current Date published:


Explosive atmospheres - Part 20.1: Material characteristics for gas and vapour classification - Test methods and data

This joint standard was developed in conjunction with Standards Australia (SA) who advised us that the standard was reviewed and resulted in a new Australian (AS) only standard AS/NZS 80079.20.1:2019. However this edition will remain current within New Zealand. For the most up to date Australian standards, visit www.standards.org.au.

Provides guidance on classification of gases and vapours. It describes a test method intended for the measurement of the maximum experimental safe gaps (MESG) for gas or vapour-air mixtures under normal conditions of temperature and pressure so as to permit the selection of an appropriate group of equipment. It describes also a test method intended for use in the determination of the auto-ignition temperature of a chemically pure vapour or gas in air at atmospheric pressure. Identical to and reproduced from IEC 60079-20-1, Ed. 1.0 (2010).
