IEC 60079-17:20 23作为IEC 60079-17:20 23 RLV提供，其中包含国际标准及其红线版本，显示了与上一版本相比技术内容的所有变化。IEC 60079-17:20 23适用于用户并且仅涵盖那些与专门为危险区域设计的电气装置的检查和维护直接相关的因素，其中危险是由爆炸性环境引起的。 它不包括: -电气装置的其他基本安装和检查要求； -电气设备的验证； -房间的保护或通风； -气体检测系统； -防爆设备的修理、大修和回收（参见IEC 60079-19）。 虽然本文件不包括安全装置的检查，如用于通风房间的安全装置（参见IEC 60079-13），它确实包括检查和维护将成为此类系统一部分的单个设备项目的要求，例如电机或传感器。本文件补充了IEC 60364-6中关于非危险区域检查和试验的要求。本文件旨在适用于由于在正常大气条件下可能存在爆炸性气体或粉尘与空气或可燃粉尘层的混合物而存在风险的情况。它不适用于: -地下矿区， -爆炸物粉尘， -自燃物质。 本第六版取消并取代2013年出版的第五版。本版构成技术修订版。

IEC 60079-17:2023 is available as IEC 60079-17:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 60079-17:2023 applies to users and covers only those factors directly related to the inspection and maintenance of electrical installations specifically designed for hazardous areas, where the hazard is caused by explosive atmospheres.
It does not include:
- other fundamental installation and inspection requirements for electrical installations;
- the verification of electrical equipment;
- protection or ventilation of rooms;
- gas detection systems;
- the repair, overhaul and reclamation of explosion protected equipment (see IEC 60079-19).
While this document does not include inspection of safety devices such as used in ventilated rooms (see IEC 60079-13), it does include the requirements for inspection and maintenance of individual items of equipment that will be part of such systems, for example motors or sensors. This document supplements the requirements for inspection and testing in non-hazardous areas in IEC 60364-6. This document is intended to be applied where there is a risk due to the potential presence of explosive gas or dust mixtures with air or combustible dust layers under normal atmospheric conditions. It does not apply to:
- underground mining areas,
- dusts of explosives,
- pyrophoric substances.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
