Explosive atmospheres - Part 35-2: Caplights for use in mines susceptible to firedamp - Performance and other safety-related matters
"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."
