IEC 60079-35-2:2011详细说明了caplights的性能和其他安全特性，包括IEC 60079-35-1中未涵盖但对用户安全和工作条件很重要的其他设备的连接点。它也可用于在不太可能受到沼气危害的矿井中使用的顶灯。IEC 60079-35-2第一版取消并取代了2005年发布的IEC 62013-2第二版（2005），并构成完整的技术修订版。IEC 62013-2第2版的总体修订和更新是由于与帽灯设计相关的新技术的出现，尤其是与灯相关的新技术- 发光二极管（LED）光源。本标准第1部分（施工）和第2部分（性能）之间的联系应更紧密，将第1部分范围内的参考从注释升级为要求。此外，由于本标准现在将成为IEC 60079系列之一，因此已进行了更改，通过交叉引用使其与该系列中的其他标准更加一致。这使得标准中条款的数量和长度得以减少。

IEC 60079-35-2:2011 details those performance and other safety features of caplights, including those with a point of connection for another equipment, not covered in IEC 60079-35-1, but which are important for the safety and working conditions of the user. It may also be applied to caplights for use in mines not likely to be endangered by firedamp. This first edition of IEC 60079-35-2 cancels and replaces the second edition (2005) of IEC 62013-2 published in 2005 and constitutes a full technical revision. The general revision and updating of Edition 2 of IEC 62013-2 has been necessitated by the advent of new technologies related to caplight design, in particular those related light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. It is intended that there should be a stronger link between Part 1 (Construction) and Part 2 (Performance) of this Standard by upgrading the reference in the Scope of part 1 from a note to a requirement. In addition as this Standard is now to become one of the IEC 60079 series, changes have been made to bring it more in line with others in the series by cross referencing. This has enabled there to be a reduction in the number and length of clauses in the Standard.
