ISO/IEC 80079-38:2016作为双标识标准发布，规定了可能是单个项目或组件的设备的设计、施工、评估和使用信息（维护、维修、标记）的防爆要求。这包括用于易受沼气和/或可燃粉尘爆炸性环境影响的矿山的机械和部件。可以假设设备可以在以下标准大气条件下运行（与大气的爆炸特性有关）:
-温度-20°C至60°C
-压力80千帕（0.8巴）至110千帕（1.1巴）
-以及氧气含量正常的空气，通常为21%v/v。 ISO/IEC 80079的本部分适用于符合EPL Mb的设备和组件，用于含有沼气和/或可燃粉尘的爆炸性环境。对于符合EPL Ma的设备和组件，本标准以及ISO 80079-36和IEC 60079-0的要求适用。有必要考虑可能影响危险的设备外部条件以及由此产生的保护措施。这些措施可能包括通风、气体检测或气体排放。ISO/IEC 80079的本部分还涉及防止易燃材料（如织物纤维、塑料“O”形密封圈、橡胶密封件、润滑油或润滑脂）燃烧（或阴燃）引起的爆炸性环境点燃，如果这些物品可能是点火源，则用于设备的施工。 例如，旋转轴轴承的机械故障可能导致摩擦加热，从而点燃其塑料保持架、塑料密封或润滑脂。传送带防火的详细要求和试验程序不属于ISO/IEC 80079的本部分。 关键词:地下矿山爆炸性环境、可燃性粉尘

ISO/IEC 80079-38:2016 is published as a dual logo standard and specifies the explosion protection requirements for the design, construction, assessment and information for use (maintenance, repair, marking) of equipment that may be an individual item or form an assembly. This includes machinery and components for use in mines susceptible to explosive atmospheres of firedamp and/or combustible dust. The standard atmospheric conditions (relating to the explosion characteristics of the atmosphere) under which it may be assumed that equipment can be operated are:
- temperature -20 °C to 60 °C;
- pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar);
- and air with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % v/v. This part of ISO/IEC 80079 applies for equipment and components according to EPL Mb to be used in explosive atmospheres containing firedamp and/or combustible dust. For equipment and components according to EPL Ma, the requirements of this standard and of ISO 80079-36 and IEC 60079-0 apply. It is necessary to take account of external conditions to the equipment which may affect the hazard and the resultant protection measures. These measures may include ventilation, gas detection or gas drainage. This part of ISO/IEC 80079 also deals with the prevention of ignitions of explosive atmospheres caused by burning (or smouldering) of combustible material such as fabric fibres, plastic "O"-rings, rubber seals, lubricating oils or greases used in the construction of the equipment if such items could be an ignition source. For example, the mechanical failure of rotating shaft bearings can result in frictional heating that ignites its plastic cage, plastic seal or lubricating grease. Detailed requirements and test procedures for the fire protection of conveyer belts are not part of this part of ISO/IEC 80079. Keywords: explosive atmospheres in underground mines, combustible dust
