NE 112 has been revised

Abstract to NE 112 "Inspection of Systems in potentially-explosive Areas in Compliance with the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health" (Version: 20.04.2012)

The Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung) BetrSichV stipulates the inspection of systems and plants which require supervision in potentially-explosive areas. This requirement is defined further by the Technical Regulations for Industrial Safety and Health (Technische Regeln für Betriebssicherheit) TRBS 1201 "Inspection of equipment and plants requiring supervision" and TRBS 1201 Part 1 "Inspection of plants in potentially-explosive areas and monitoring of workplaces in potentially-explosive areas".

This NAMUR recommendation should, on this basis, provide assistance in the development of operational inspection concepts. Particular attention is paid to the integration of inspections in the maintenance process.
