ISA12.20, Electrical Ignition Systems for Internal Combustion Engines in Hazardous Areas

Scope

To prepare and recommend practices for ignition systems used in hazardous (classified) areas as identified in the National Electrical Code^Ž, and promote their technology as well as use of the resulting documents.

Purpose

Prepare a performance standard and recommended practices for construction, installation, and testing of ignition systems for internal combustion engines that are used in hazardous (classified) areas. It is intended that these documents be acceptable for ANSI recognition.

A Word from the Chairman

ANSI/ISA-12.20.01-2009, General Requirements for Electrical Ignition Systems for Internal Combustion Engines in Class I, Division 2, Hazardous (Classified) Locations, has been published. At the end of the October 2009 ISA12.20 meeting, I will conclude the subcommittee efforts and disband ISA12.20. I would like to personally thank each and every subcommittee member for their efforts and look forward to seeing you at our last meeting in Houston. If you cannot attend, my thanks for your contributions and your efforts, and I look forward to working with you again in another standards effort.

Dave Burns, ISA12.20 Chairman
