TC6 members are active participants in the international standards work of IEC TC31, which was established over 60 years ago, and also CENELEC TC31. IEC and CENELEC standards cover the life cycle of equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres through design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and repair. The area of potentially explosive atmospheres is subject to two EU Directives; Directive 94/9/EC which covers equipment and protective systems and Directive 1999/92/EC which covers the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk. ETCI TC6 is also responsible for ETCI Publication ET105 (National Rules for Electrical Installations in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres) together with the associated Sub-System Completion Certificate for such installations.
