该欧洲技术报告适用于斗式提升机，其可以处理在其操作期间能够在斗式提升机内产生潜在的爆炸性粉尘或粉末的气体的可燃物品。控制点火源的注意事项在斗式提升机中的产品产生火灾风险但不具有爆炸危险的情况下也是相关的。 为了本报告的目的，斗式提升机被定义为通过连续运动在垂直方向上携带粉末形式的材料或诸如全谷物，木片或薄片的粗糙产品的散装物料处理设备的物品的开放式容器。 本技术报告规定了斗式电梯的防火防爆原理和指导原则。 防止是通过消除点火源或点火源的检测来避免有效的点火源。 爆炸防护是基于专门适用于斗式提升机的防爆，防爆或防爆容器和防爆隔离规则的应用。这些具体规则可以基于商定的测试方法。 该欧洲技术报告不适用于不需要大气氧化物的产品

This European Technical Report applies to bucket elevators that may handle combustible products capable of producing potentially explosive atmospheres of dust or powder inside the bucket elevator during its operation. The precautions to control ignition sources will also be relevant where the product in the bucket elevator creates a fire risk but not an explosion risk. For the purposes of this report, a bucket elevator is defined as an item of bulk material handling equipment that carries material in powder form or as coarse products such as whole grain, wood chips or flakes, in a vertical direction by means of a continuous movement of open containers. This Technical Report specifies the principles of and guidance for fire and explosion prevention and explosion protection for bucket elevators. Prevention is based on the avoidance of effective ignition sources, either by the elimination of ignition sources or the detection of ignition sources. Explosion protection is based on the application of explosion venting, explosion suppression or explosion containment and explosion isolation rules specifically adapted for bucket elevators. These specific rules may be based on agreed test methods. This European Technical Report does not apply to products that do not require atmospheric oxygen for combustion.
