BS EN IEC 61340-4-4:2018 specifies requirements for flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC)
between 0,25 m3 and 3 m3 in volume, intended for use in hazardous explosive atmospheres.
The explosive atmosphere can be created by the contents in the FIBC or can exist outside the
FIBC.The requirements include:classification and labelling of FIBC;classification of inner liners;specification of test methods for each type of FIBC, inner liner, labels and document
pockets;design and performance requirements for FIBC, inner liners, labels and document pockets;safe use of FIBC (including those with inner liners) within different zones defined for
explosion endangered environments, described for areas where combustible dusts are, or
can be, present (IEC 60079-10-2), and for explosive gas atmospheres (IEC 60079-10-1);procedures for type qualification and certification of FIBC, including the safe use of inner
liners.Cross References:IEC 61340-2-3ISO 7000ISO/IEC 80079-20-2EN ISO/IEC 80079-20-2EN 60079-10-1EN 60243-2IEC 60243-2IEC 60079-10-2IEC 60079-10-1ISO 21898EN 60079-10-2EN ISO 21898IEC 60417EN 61340-2-3ASTM E582IEC 60243-1:2013EN 60243-1 (IEC 60243-1:2013) ASEN 60079-32-2IEC 61340-2-1IEC TR 61340-1IEC TS 60079-32-1EN 61340-2-1CLC/TR 50404IEC 60079-32-2All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
