  3. To submit proposals, as needed, for revisions to standards, recommended practices, and technical reports outlining the various methods for oil immersion to prevent ignition of flammable atmospheres.

A Word from the Chairman

Since responsibility for the maintenance of IEC 60079-6 has been given to TC31 WG22, the responsibility for the revision work on ANSI/ISA-60079-6 (12.26.01)-1998, Electrical Apparatus for Use in Class I, Zone 1 Hazardous (Classified) Locations: Type of Protection - Oil-Immersion "o", has been transferred to the ISA12.0 Subcommittee and renumbered ISA-60079-6 (12.00.05). Therefore, there is no activity within the ISA12.26 Subcommittee at this time.

Lon Ballard, ISA12.26 Chairman
