Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies safety requirements for generation and use of protective and reactive atmosphere gases that are part of industrial thermo-processing equipment (TPE). NOTE The general safety requirements common to TPE are provided in US ISO 13577?1 (see Introduction). This standard deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the generation and use of protective and reactive atmosphere gases created by thermochemical reactions and their use in TPE that are part of TPE as listed in Clause 4 and Clause 5, when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. It covers pipework downstream of and including the manual isolating valve, equipment for the generation of atmosphere gases, additional equipment for the use of atmosphere gases in TPE, safety devices, and functional requirements for safety related control system for the generation and use of protective and reactive atmosphere gases.
